Worldcoin

August 2, 2023

Open AI CEO Sam Altman along with two co-founders launched the Worldcoin crypto project to grant users a verified digital identity and access to a financial project.
- OpenAi was the company behind the AI chatbot ChatGPT.
It is intended to be the world’s largest identity and financial public network, open to everyone regardless of their country, background or economic status.
WorldCoin wants to offer users an account that only “real humans” can get, through what it calls a “World ID”.
For this, a customer has to sign up and do an in-person eye scan at particular locations, where their irises would be scanned through a ball-like object called an ‘orb’.
- Once the orb’s iris scan verifies the person is a real human, it creates a World ID for them.
