Bloomberg: Despite regulatory setbacks, Worldcoin still seeks collaboration with OpenAI

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, the project Worldcoin, which distributes digital identities and cryptocurrency tokens by scanning human irises, is still seeking collaboration with tech giants like OpenAI despite facing global regulatory scrutiny and data privacy concerns.

It is reported that OpenAI was co-founded by Sam Altman and has faced investigations in Hong Kong, Germany, and Argentina, with Kenya even issuing a ban. Recently, regulatory authorities in Spain and Portugal accused Worldcoin of allowing minors to undergo eye scans and obtain blockchain-based identity verification, subsequently ordering 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 U.S. market due to regulatory restrictions.
