Sam Altman’s digital ID World project has broken the US as the Trump Administration adopts a positive view of cryptocurrency. Until now, his venture excluded the U.S. under Joe Biden’s Administration who was more reluctant towards embracing it. The project, World, formerly gaining global attention as Worldcoin, was pledged to make America the “crypto capital of the planet”. Altman said he planned to offer the innovation of World to the U.S., which should “lead innovation, not fight it”.
As entrepreneur of $300 billion OpenAI, he has lent into the hype of AI-powered content and capabilities and wants to centre humans.
World’s technology aims to differentiate humans from machines in an AI-driven future, offering its cryptocurrency in exchange for eye scans to verify human identity.
The group aims to build approximately 10,000 orbs for the US market within the next 12 months.
