Two commercial premises, located in La Plata, linked to the Worldcoin company had to close their doors. Its closure was a decision by the Undersecretary of Commercial Development and Investment Promotion of the Buenos Aires Ministry of Production, Science and Technological Innovation after demanding explanations about the use of technologies to scan the iris and the massive collection of biometric data. According to the official version, non-compliance and violations of local regulations were detected.
The regulations are noted in the midst of judicial investigations that seek to determine the legality of this business. This company created by Sam Altman, executive director of OpenAI, the company that developed ChatGPT, counted until the end of January of this year more than half a million Argentines with their identity verified in the World App and more than five million people downloaded the application of this cryptocurrency.
