Worldcoin pursues OpenAI partnership despite regulatory setbacks

PANews reported on April 25 that according to Bloomberg, Worldcoin, a project that distributes digital identities and crypto tokens by scanning human irises, is still seeking to cooperate with technology giants such as OpenAI despite regulatory scrutiny and data privacy concerns worldwide. The project, co-founded by Sam Altman, has been investigated in Hong Kong, Germany, Argentina, and even banned in Kenya. Recently, Spanish and Portuguese regulators accused Worldcoin of allowing minors to undergo eye scans and obtain blockchain-based identity authentication, and then ordered the project to stop collecting data. In addition, the company plans to launch a second-layer blockchain called "World Chain" and update its scanning device "orb". Worldcoin's token WLD has not yet been listed in the US market due to regulatory restrictions.
