Sam Altman’s project that aims to scan the irises of every single person on Earth in exchange for cryptocurrency has made its debut in the U.S., even as concerns around biometric data collection and processing remain.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman-backed Tools for Humanity startup has launched a human verification crypto project called 'World' in the US. The company has unveiled a mobile device, which aims to correctly define the difference between a human and computer-generated AI bots in a world where the line between human and machine is blurring by the day.

Tools for Humanity, a startup co-founded by OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman, plans to roll out thousands of eyeball-scanning Orb devices across the US, marking a major expansion for the company and its novel identification services.
