Despite privacy advocates' and data authorities' fears, people are getting their eyes scanned all around the world in return for a digital ID and the promise of free Bitcoin. The Worldcoin project, founded by Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT creator OpenAI, claims it intends to establish a new "identity and financial network" and that its digital ID would enable users to, among other things, demonstrate online that they are real, not a bot. The research began on Monday, with ocular scans occurring in nations including India, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Altman also shared a video on Twitter that depicted the 'crazy lines' of people for getting their eyes scanned to get verified for Worldcoin project. Worldcoin: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Launches Eyeball-Scanning Cryptocurrency Startup for Distinguishing Humans From AI Online.
