Sam Altman’s World Eyes Global Expansion!

The digital ID project “World,” led by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, secured $135 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Crypto. The funds will expand the network of iris-scanning orbs in the US and globally, as World aims to create "proof of personhood" through biometric data. While over 12.5 million IDs have been issued, the project faces bans and scrutiny in numerous countries due to privacy concerns. Critics argue it violates consent by offering crypto incentives for biometric data, sparking ethical debates about centralized digital ID systems.
