☆ Sam Altman’s lesser-known crypto project wants to scan the world’s eyeballs
  + stars: | 2024-09-13 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
And when that happens, he’s got another project, Worldcoin, in the works to help fix it. To do that, it’s using its proprietary, basketball-ball sized “orbs” that scan people’s eyeballs and create a unique, immutable code based on the pattern of their irises. So I sat down (virtually) with Worldcoin’s co-founder and CEO, 30-year-old Alex Blania, to discuss the project’s origins and future. CNN: A lot of Worldcoin’s focus is future-focused — targeting problems that are hard for us to imagine today. Blania: I think there’s two pieces to that.

☆ Crypto’s Next Craze? Orbs That Scan Your Eyeballs.

Every Worldcoin orb contains a camera designed to record images of a person’s irises. The orbs convert those scans into bits of numerical code, which are supposed to serve as a new type of digital ID. They are promoting the orbs as a possible foundation for universal basic income, a welfare system in which everyone receives guaranteed payments, and argue that iris IDs will help distinguish real people from robots. Tools for Humanity is part of a growing array of crypto firms trying to latch on to the hype around A.I. to propel digital currencies back to relevance after a miserable 18 months of market crashes and bankruptcies.

☆ Worldcoin: OpenAI's Sam Altman launches crypto project
  + stars: | 2023-07-24 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
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.
