Medirom Partners with World Foundation to Deploy Proof of Human Technology in Japan

Medirom Healthcare Technologies Inc. has announced a collaboration with World Foundation and Tools for Humanity to deploy "Proof of Human" technologies, including World ID, across Japan. Under a newly signed Master Service Agreement, Medirom will operate "Proof of Human" verification locations throughout the country, utilizing its network of approximately 300 physical sites. The initiative, co-created by Sam Altman and Alex Blania, aims to address challenges in distinguishing humans from AI online by enabling privacy-preserving human verification without revealing personal identities. Medirom will support the rollout through a dedicated task force and expects the partnership to drive new revenue streams and expand access to digital identity verification nationwide.
