Thank CTOnews.com netizens W (U) for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 25 (Xinhua)-- Tools for Humanity, an American start-up company co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Alex Blania, announced on July 24 local time that a new cryptocurrency project, World currency, has been launched, and the official name "New Digital currency for everyone on Earth" will be launched around the world.

According to a joint statement issued by ▲ source Worldcoin, a joint statement issued with Sam Altman and Tools for Humanity's CEO Alex Blania, the "world currency" consists of the world ID responsible for "protecting privacy" and the "cryptocurrency" WLD. In addition, in order to avoid the occupation of robots, the company has also developed a spherical iris scanning system "Orb" for authentication. The device can hold the scanned iris data with one hand and convert the scanned iris data into a unique digital code-World ID. Users can use this ID to log in to the associated App to generate a wallet and receive "World coins". Of course, iris scanning also ensures that each person can have only one ID.

Although various IT bosses are keen on cryptocurrencies, there are also many people who hold different opinions. CTOnews.com previously reported that Michael Kagan, Nvidia's chief technology officer, said the cryptocurrency did not make any beneficial contribution to society. Other uses of processing power, such as ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chat robot, are more valuable than mining. It is worth noting that the first version of ChatGPT was trained on a supercomputer made up of about 10,000 Nvidia graphics cards.

"I never believed [cryptocurrency] was a good thing for human beings," Kagan said. "you know, people do crazy things, but they buy your things and you sell them. But you won't change the direction of the company to support what they do."
