Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, launched on Monday.
Blockchains can store the World IDs in a way that preserves privacy and can’t be controlled or shut down by any single entity, co-founder Alex Blania told Reuters.
The project says World IDs will be necessary in the age of generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT, which produce remarkably humanlike language.
Altman told Reuters Worldcoin also can help address how the economy will be reshaped by generative AI.
Since only real people can have World IDs, it could be used to reduce fraud when deploying UBI.
