Sam Altman’s controversial Blockchain project, will be launched in the United States, and said he intends to launch 7,500 “orbs” of ocular scan in cities throughout the country by the end of the year.
World Orbes (chrome, bowling balls that scan a person’s eye balloons to confirm their identity) will initially be available to Americans in six “key innovation centers,” said the company: Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville and San Francisco. Those who decide to take the step and look at orb will get access to world application and receive an Airdrop from Token Wld in the world. At the end of the year, the project aims to have enough orbs propagated throughout the United States to give 180 million Americans, more than half of the population, access to the world network.
Altman and other executives of the World Tools for Humanity’s parent company announced the expansion of the United States at a press conference in San Francisco on Wednesday night, along with a vertiginous series of new features and associations for the project.
The World application will now offer its users access to loans supported by cryptocurrency through the loan protocol without Morpho custody and prediction markets through Kalshi. At the end of this year, WLD holders can spend their tokens as an effective with a new visa debit card linked to the world. The project is even integrating its identity verification technology into some online appointments applications. Starting with Tinder users in Japan, the online appointment coincidence group will pilot the use of world ID to verify the ages of its users.
Altman said the idea for the previous world OpenAI, its generative artificial intelligence (AI) company.
“We needed some kind of form to authenticate humans in the era of [artificial general intelligence]”Altman said during the press conference.” We needed a way in which we could know what content was made by humans, [and what was made] By AI. We wanted a way to make sure that humans remain special and central to a world where the Internet was going to have a lot of content driven by AI. “
Altman’s initial ideas about how to solve the problem of human verification were “very crazy,” said: World and its ocular scan orbs, just a little.
World is the last cryptographic project to announce an American expansion. Since President Donald Trump assumed the position in January, the regulatory environment has become much more friendly for cryptographic projects.
The company announced that it would build a factory in Richardson, Texas, a Dallas suburb, to help produce the necessary orbs for its next US expansion. After the initial launch, other important cities such as Seattle, Orlando, San Diego and Las Vegas will receive the second wave of Orbes.
“They will really be everywhere,” said Alex Blania, co -founder of tools for humanity. “They will be in service stations, convenience stores, and can verify in 10 minutes wherever you are.”
