Jared Leto's band is using World's new Concert Kit tool to set aside a portion of tickets for verified human fans on its 2027 European tour. The tech comes from Sam Altman's Tools for Humanity, the company behind World ID, an encrypted digital passport created through iris and face scans.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Mehmet Oz, MD, MBA, had previously sent similar requests to New York, Minnesota, Maine, and California in what has been a growing, Trump administration-wide initiative to crack down on fraud, waste, and abuse.

Justices issued the 6-3 decision last week after a federal judge presiding over a lawsuit about Michael Jennings' 2022 arrest asked the court to clarify whether officers can demand to see a person's identification under the state's "stop-and-identify" law. The minister was arrested when he declined to show Childersburg police identification.
