Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has launched “World ID,” described as a “digital passport” to verify the identity of real humans as opposed to AI bots. The price of WorldCoins native cryptocurrency token, WLD, increased substantially on the news. The project aims to address monetary implications brought about by generative AI, including the prospect of universal basic income (UBI). The project has garnered 2 million users during its beta period.
