Worldcoin, the cryptocurrency / human identity network / UBI project co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, is now known as World. Along with the name change, World introduced an updated version of its eyeball-scanning Orb device which is designed to solve a problem that does not currently exist: authenticating that someone is human “in the age of AI.

The eye-scanning project that doles out crypto updates its Orb and app. It's also shortening its name to just 'World' as it tries to get more people to sign up for digital identities on the blockchain.

The ambitious identity-verification project Worldcoin, now called World, wants a future where humans are “orb-verified.”
