OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Supports Worldcoin’s Global Identity Project, US

The buzz surrounding the controversial Worldcoin project has been revived thanks to the recent support of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Altman, speaking in an interview, expressed his admiration for the concept behind Worldcoin, as it aims to create a global identity for individuals on the blockchain, distinguishing them from AI and robots. Worldcoin’s parent company, Tools for Humanity, has been seeking investments of at least $50 million. However, the project has faced inquiries from governments of various countries, including Kenya, Germany, and the UK, who have concerns about the requirement for iris scans. Despite these setbacks, Altman believes that identifying unique humans will become increasingly important as AI plays a bigger role in our lives. Worldcoin’s goal is to assign ‘World IDs’ to people, eliminating the need to share personal information online. With investment firms injecting $115 million into the project earlier this year, Worldcoin aims to revolutionize online identity verification and privacy.
