Sam Altman, with a bad start of his week as a china chatbot has placed in doubt Leading Ai Ai Sugtsups, faced with another headache. One of the rest of his growing empire, world, reported that blocked Through Brazilian authorities from paying people to scan their Irises in the ID System ID.

World, which was previously known as Worldcoin, was the Startup of Allman’s goal of Create a Digital ID System Depends on the strans in Iris to verify online identity. As the internet is flooded with a lot of content that is AI, the world can help identify real people from the bots. Irony does not get lost in most believing that the OpenII of Almant is responsible for the development of inexplicable content online. Critics say tech leaders including Sam Allman have self-interest regarding AI threats, which help raise their positions in Washington and power.

The world is the subject of many controversy to use it on a polarizing device in orb that is sometimes defined as shock and dystopian; And for doing the world in entering developing countries and paying locals to scan their eyeballs in exchange for cryptocurrency.

The world has already been banned in many countries, including Spain, with a privacy watchdog citing concerns how technology is withdrawal in the company’s eyeballs. Brazil follows the steps of countries, however there is a more obscure payment for scans. The government also ordered the tools for the people, the world’s parent company, to determine the website responsible for processing personal data.

World of World ID requires users of Scan their eyeballs By one of these orbs, a device that captures an image on the user’s irises, before they receive a unique digital ID stored in the blockchain. Some early use of the World ID includes a Reddit integration that allows moderators to the subreddits in the accounts of the world users, which are given trust in true people and No Bots. Users can make sure that they only use their world ID by scanning their face and compare it against face scans taken by orb at time to sign up. Face scans taken by orb are stored only on local telephone.

Others see early world’s behavior as exploitable. To jump the adoption of the system, the company offers money to people in regions including Africa to scan their eyeballs. These people will participate in disgust, thinking goes, so it’s not a “option.” To make its decision, the data protection data in Brazil said that the financial fee “can interfere with the free expression of individuals, by influencing the decision on the decision of their data to Biometric. “

The world, in this regard, saying that service follows all the laws and regulations of Brazil and that the authorities have been misled by false information spread to the press and social media.

Gizmodo reaches the world for comment but have never heard.

One of the concerns about a system like world is that in the wrong hands, the technology could be used to surveil individuals’ activities online so that everyone will “be on their best behavior,” as Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has As be one of the AI ​​benefits that will always monitor the world. If the monitoring cost can be almost free, everyone can check. Intentions can be good, but it can be very far away and lead to bad consequences such as poorly counting people in crimes they do not do.

The world says to website with no personal identification of information tied to a world ID in the world so that holders cannot be bound in their unique world. More than 10 million scans Finished so far, the company announced early in January. Some websites show that the company identity system, and it remains to see if most people around the world will be open to scan their eyeballs.
