Sam Altman's 'World' Expands Partnerships

Sam Altman's 'World' Expands Partnerships

Sam Altman’s controversial biometric project, formerly known as Worldcoin, is moving into the mainstream through a series of high-profile corporate partnerships.

Tinder users who verify their identity using World’s 'Orb' hardware will receive premium features, while Zoom will now offer badges to confirm human participants in meetings.

The company is also launching a 'Concert Kit' designed to help artists prevent ticket scalping by automated bots.

Despite its growth, the project continues to face significant privacy concerns regarding the collection and storage of iris data.
