Worldcoin Surges 25% as OpenAI Considers its Biometric Technology

Worldcoin (WLD) rallied 25% in a matter of minutes after Forbes reported that OpenAI, the creator of the popular ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, is exploring biometric verification solutions, potentially utilizing Worldcoin's technology.

The AI giant is reportedly building its own social network that will require users to provide “proof of personhood“ via Apple’s Face ID or World’s iris scans. The co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, also co-founded the company behind World, Tools For Humanity.

While the technological advancements hold promise, the privacy implications remain a contentious issue. The use of biometric data, particularly iris scans, raises critical questions about user consent and data security.
