The man behind the eye scanning for cryptocurrency: who is Sam Altman, the king of AI.
Sam Altman drives a global system that promises to distribute cryptocurrency to millions of people in exchange for scanning their iris with biometric technology.
Sam Altman combines artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency in Worldcoin, a project that has already scanned millions of eyes in search of a global identity.
While millions of users download digital wallets and explore new forms of identity, a project awakens as much curiosity as controversy. The Worldcoin proposal, which gives cryptocurrencies in exchange for scanning your iris, is backed by one of the most influential figures in the tech world: Sam Altman.
Altman is not only driving a new era of Artificial Intelligence, he is also seeking to rethink the economic future. With a global vision, disruptive technology, and risky decisions, he positions himself as a key player of the 21st century.
Who is Sam Altman, the man behind Chat GPT and Worldcoin
Sam Altman was born in 1985 in Chicago. By the age of eight, he already knew how to program. He graduated in computer science from Stanford, although he dropped out to found his startup, Loopt. That geolocated application catapulted him in Silicon Valley and attracted high-profile investors.
After selling Loopt, he took over the leadership of Y Combinator, a startup incubator. From there, he supported giants like Airbnb, Dropbox, and Stripe. His approach has always combined technological ambition with social impact, leading him to co-found OpenAI, the organization that developed ChatGPT.
With the success of generative artificial intelligence, Altman became a global public figure. He advocates for the ethical use of these tools and warns of the risks if they are not regulated. At the same time, his leadership has become fundamental to guide the next steps of the digital revolution.
In that context, he launched Worldcoin, an initiative aimed at creating a global digital identity based on iris recognition.
