The cryptocurrency project Worldcoin, founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, began its rollout on July 24, which features an innovative iris-scanning “Orb” designed to authenticate a person’s uniqueness.
Worldcoin co-founders Alex Blania and Mr. Altman said the project could drastically increase economic opportunity, scale a reliable solution for distinguishing humans from artificial intelligence (AI), enable a global democratic process, and potentially pave the way for AI-funded universal basic income (UBI).
