Tools for humanity, a startup co-founded by Sam Altman, has spear It’s his World Globe Scan of the world Identity verification system in the United States. During an event in San Francisco, Altman would have said that global technology offered “a way to ensure that humans have remained central and special in a world where the Internet had a lot of content focused on AI”. Altman is also one of the founders and is currently the CEO of Openai, which may be the most important artificial intelligence company today.
World was known as Worldcoin until the tools of humanity decide to focus on the digital ID aspect of the project rather than on the cryptocurrency part, because the Biden administration did not have a friendly position towards the crypto. The project uses spherical objects the size of a basketball called orb to scan the iris of a user, which he then turns into a unique iriscode for them. He will then use this information to create a global ID for the user he can use to connect to integrated platforms, including Minecraft and Reddit. Users who are checked will obtain part of the project cryptocurrency free of charge.
The tools for humanity have said that the world maintains some access to user data to ensure that they do not scan their double biometrics. But he also said that most of the personal data she collects remains decentralized, anonymized and supposedly impossible for retro-engineers to identify someone. World opens six locations in Austin, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Nashville, Miami and San Francisco where people can make their iris scan.
During the event, the project also revealed that it operated on a smaller smartphone -shaped device called the Orb Mini which can check the identification of a person. He finally intends to transform it into a mobile point of sale device. The project has also introduced new partnerships: it will soon launch the world visa card for people who checked their identity, and it will pilot its identity and age check tools with Tinder in Japan.
