Worldcoin, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has officially launched in the United States, introducing its biometric-based digital identity system aimed at distinguishing humans from AI bots. The initiative involves physical storefronts where users can undergo iris scans using the "Orb" device to obtain a World ID, a self-sovereign digital identity stored on the blockchain. This "proof of personhood" approach seeks to enhance online identity integrity while preserving user anonymity. The U.S. launch marks a significant step in Worldcoin's global expansion, reflecting its ambition to create an inclusive financial network rooted in verified human identities.
