The digital ID project running through Sam Altman’s eyeballs is being deployed in the UK, providing access to verification services that entrepreneurs are essential to distinguishing between humans and artificial intelligence.
The Altman’s World Project has developed an ORB that scans people’s eyes to generate digital qualifications that can be used to access products and services online, and generates WorldCoin, the group’s own cryptocurrency. This week, the world will open many places in London, allowing people to scan Iris and receive their World ID.
The group is looking to expand the scope of the project, which debuted in the US in April.
“The UK is certainly one of the most influential markets in the world, and it’s far surpassing its weight worldwide,” said Adrian Ludwig, chief architect at Tools for Humanity, the world’s leading developer.
The UK population is “a lot online and we already know the impacts and existential effects of AI. In the UK, over 75% of our citizens are told that they are affected by AI on a daily basis.”
Project leaders argue that AI is at a stage where they can faithfully copy real people thanks to the advancements made by companies such as Altman’s Openai.
The group expects that around 90% of online content will be machine-generated within two years, and in many areas it is already impossible to distinguish computers from people.
Tools for Humanity was founded in 2019 by Altman and Alex Blania and raised over $300 million, including LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to prison for fraud last year.
Last month, the group raised $135 million to build more orbs and funded international expansion by selling WorldCoin to investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Crypto. The group still has no revenue, but it is exploring options such as the Tinder Parent Match group, which uses World Services, such as the Tinder Parent Match group, which uses World Services.
World executives argue that validation tools like themselves are essential to help banks tackle fraud.
However, the world is facing pushbacks in European countries, including Spain and Portugal, over security and privacy concerns in European countries, and the handling of biometric data has been investigated by the Bavarian State Bureau of State, Baylda, the German data protection agency.
At the group’s US launch event in April, Altman said global technology is “a way to make sure the internet remains central and special in a world where there is a lot of AI-driven content.”

Critics emphasize that a world of challenges is largely about to exist as Altman raised billions of dollars to pursue powerful AI. The project also needs to overcome the usefulness and reliability questions from users interested in sharing biometric data with private companies.
Since German authorities raised concerns, the world has updated its technology, and according to Ludwig, it has not retained data from people using ORBs. “The user on the local device holds the data. It’s not uploaded anywhere. It doesn’t go to a server controlled by humanity or the World Foundation’s tools.”
He compares the process of using IRIS scans to access online services and displaying driver’s licenses at bars.
