Sam Altman’s World Launches Eye-Scanning for Crypto in America

Sam Altman’s eye-scanning crypto project, known as World, has officially started offering its services in the United States.

Recently, Americans were blocked from claiming WLD tokens due to concerns over regulatory issues. Meanwhile, World had already launched in regions across Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia.

According to the company, more than 12 million people worldwide have created a World ID so far, with around 400,000 joining just in the past week. It announced:

World launches in the USA, at last.

A statement added, "The United States of America stands at the forefront of artificial intelligence innovation. Now, it's time for the world's AI hub to embrace the essential counterpart: proof of human".

World ID is designed as a digital proof of identity based on biometrics. However, the company behind the project, Tools for Humanity, claims that users' private data remains safe.

According to its founders, Sam Altman and Alex Blania, the data from the iris scan stays on users’ devices and is protected by cryptographic technology. No raw eye images are stored on central servers.

On April 28, OpenAI added new features to its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, ChatGPT. What are they? Read the full story.
