Short description
Summarize this content to 100 words OpenAI CEO Sam Altman launched Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project that uses biometrics for authentication.As part of the project, only a real person will be able to open a World ID account. To receive a World ID, he must register and undergo an iris scan during a face-to-face meeting using a Worldcoin “sphere”. It is a silver ball about the size of a bowling ball. Once the scan is complete, the person is added to the database and Worldcoin creates a unique cryptographic “hash”. The scan data is not stored, but the hash can be used in the future to anonymously verify an identity through an application that includes a private key associated with a public public key.Tools for Humanity, the company behind Worldcoin, is based in San Francisco and Berlin. 2 million users have already registered in the beta version of the project, and after the official launch it appeared in 35 cities in 20 countries. As an incentive, those who register in certain countries will receive the Worldcoin WLD cryptocurrency token. According to Altman, the project will solve a problem created by AI developers. With the help of such an ID, it will be possible to distinguish a real person from a deepfake. Alman is also confident that the project will bring humanity closer to an unconditional basic income, but it is not yet clear how this will happen. Worldcoin’s mission is to create a global identity, a global currency and an application that allows payments, purchases and transfers using its own token, alongside other digital assets and traditional currencies.Worldcoin WLD cryptocurrency is now available on Binance. The price of WLD rose in early trading on Monday. It peaked at $5.29 before dropping to $2.49 at an opening price of $0.15. The trading volume was $25.1 million. All identifiers are stored on the blockchain to preserve privacy and avoid control by a single organization, said company co-founder Alex Blania.A Worldcoin representative says it plans to launch an SDK so developers can program the API and implement it into their own apps or platforms.Meanwhile, OpenAI opened its first international office in London. According to Altman, this step will allow attracting world-class talented specialists. OpenAI’s vice president of human resources, Diane Yun, said that opening an international office in the UK capital will allow the company to put more effort into creating and promoting safe AI.
