Human verification standard for the internet
poh.org (opens in a new tab)Proof of Human is building a global standard for confirming that a real person is behind an interaction online. With human and machine behaviour growing harder to tell apart, establishing who or what is on the other end is becoming basic to the integrity of the internet. Princeton PhD scientists Mayank Agrawal and Matt Hardy founded it as a research and technology company that develops the science, products and infrastructure verification needs at global scale. Organised as a public benefit corporation, it treats the work as a public responsibility as well as a technical problem, and it helps shape the standards and governance for how verification systems are built, deployed and used.
