Manage episode 437759082 series 3321415
Robin Tombs, co-founder and CEO of Yoti, discusses why the road to fully implementing digital ID into society is a long and challenging one, how social media companies can avoid onboarding underage users and the great challenge to identity posed by the rise of deepfake technology.
Tombs co-founded Yoti – which develops age verification and digital ID technology – in 2014 after working in the online gambling space. Tombs saw the difficulty in verifying ages and identities and sought to develop capable of doing so. Yoti works with partners including Meta and Sony to detect user ages and supplies users with a digital card that it hopes will hold the same weight as physical IDs.
