🚨🌐 Worldcoin changes name and announces updates at its first global event at San FranciscoWorld
🌎 Known until a few hours ago as Worldcoin, it has announced a series of updates that promise to map out a new world.
'A new world', the title that frames the company's first global event, held in San Francisco, California, has made clear what the near future will be like in terms of security, privacy and digital identity.
The company founded in 2019 initially by Alex Blania, Max Novendstern and Sam Altman - the latter also responsible for OpenAI, the mother of ChatGPT - has found new opportunities for expansion regarding the - today - classic problems brought by the wave of artificial intelligence (AI) models.
World is betting on extreme security; safeguarding human identity through a unique and unrepeatable biometric signature: the ocular iris.
🚨Worldcoin changes its name🚨
Alex Blania, co-founder of the now World, emphasized in a press conference that the “old name of the company no longer works.” Everything indicates that the company wants to add other sources of identity to its brand that do not only subscribe to cryptocurrencies.
The premise of the new brand is based not on a product but on an integration service. A badge that provides access to everything.
And reward whoever signs up for this eye data bank with a sum of cryptocurrencies that can multiply over time, or that can be converted into real money in the exchange houses of these assets. From the beginning, Worldcoin, now World, has offered users who want it a sum of free cryptocurrencies in exchange for their iris.
☝️Altman's “free” cryptocurrencies have not ceased to be the subject of criticism and skepticism among societies and governments around the globe.
