Sam Altman og Worldcoin: Identitetssikkerhed og fremtidens udfordringer
Altman and his project Worldcoin claim to have created a secure online identity. This is made possible by a distinctive biometric feature, namely the iris of the human eye.
Worldcoin is not just a cryptocurrency, but works in conjunction with the Worldcoin app and its identification system, the World ID. This relies on a scan of the iris of the eye.
It is said to guarantee complete security when accessing the app. To achieve this, Worldcoin has been scanning the irises of people in numerous cities over the past two years. However, this action took place mainly in countries in Africa and Asia, where little importance was placed on data protection. This is now being criticized by experts.
The scans serve Worldcoin to train its own systems to recognize the iris of the human eye. Some observers even see this action as sparking the interest of intelligence agencies.
Worldcoin believes it has solved the problem of unequivocally identifying a person online. This should be possible through an iris scan, but security experts doubt this. Meanwhile, the crypto world is not deterred by the discussion. Here, the topic of Artificial Intelligence has long been identified as a future theme and is also being used in new coins like yPredict.ai.
Sam Altman himself is considered a controversial figure. Although he has created a building block for the development of a future superintelligence with ChatGPT, he allegedly views his own work critically. Altman supposedly believes that one day Artificial Intelligence could disempower or even annihilate humanity.
He is said to have already taken corresponding precautions for his protection. The tech guru believes that Artificial Intelligence will one day take over the majority of work. Therefore, in his view, it is important to create a universal basic income for the population.
This is what, according to his vision, Worldcoin is supposed to ensure one day. However, an unequivocal identification of the person receiving this basic income is also necessary.
