Sam Altman’s eye-scanning crypto project World launches in US

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s crypto-tied digital identity project World, formerly Worldcoin, has made its US debut in six cities.  The project, which aims to verify humans in the age of artificial intelligence, is initially coming to what it calls the “key innovation hubs” of Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville and San Francisco, according to an April 30 announcement. World offers a crypto token, Worldcoin (WLD), to those who verify their identity with its spherical device called The Orb, which scans a user’s face and eyes. The data can be used to make a World ID on the company’s platform to verify a user is human and to sign in to integrated platforms, which currently include Minecraft, Reddit, Telegram, Shopify and Discord source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/sam-altman-eye-scanning-crypto-project-worldcoin-launches-us?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
