Sam Altman, the creator of the Open AI company and the ChatGPT service, began mass scanning people’s pupils, paying for it with cryptocurrency. The businessman created the digital currency Worldcoin, and offers absolutely everyone to get it.
To scan the eyes, a special device called Orb is used. Testing of the unusual gadget began two years ago, and now there are more than 2 million people from 33 countries in the database.
The company plans to further develop the project, creating about 1.5 thousand places for eye scanning. Altam himself told why he needed this plan. The businessman said that he needed it to develop technology that would make it possible to distinguish real people from artificial intelligence.
Also, his cryptocurrency Worldcoin should become a source of universal income for every person, regardless of their job and place of residence.
The sphere works as follows: the device scans a person’s face and eyes to verify the person’s reality. To do this, you need to look into the lens for about 10 seconds, after which the gadget will beep – this is a sign that everything has worked.
