Following the success of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman is venturing into a new online endeavor. Altman co-founded Worldcoin in 2019 with a vision to establish the world’s largest identity and financial network. Recent reports suggest that Altman is on the verge of securing an impressive $100 million in funds to propel the project forward. The next phase involves scanning individuals’ irises to grant them free access to the global cryptocurrency that Worldcoin aims to create.
This development has sparked concerns among commentators regarding potential ethical and privacy issues, reminiscent of the controversies surrounding OpenAI’s AI-powered bot. As Altman pushes forward with the eye-scanning technology, questions arise about the potential implications of this project and its impact on individual privacy.
