Sam Altman’s World unveils a mobile verification device

Tools for humanity, startup behind the worldwide project for a human check that is the co -founder of Openi Altman Sam Altman, revealed on Wednesday a mobile device for people to help determine the difference between a man and an AI agent.

The company that made the device debut during its event “at the last” in San Francisco, also announced plans to open a brick and mortar store where people can access their balls.

World, Web3 project started by Altman and Alex Blana who was previously known as WorldCoinis based on the idea that in the end will be impossible distinguish people from agents AI on the Internet. In order to get rid of it, the world wants to create a digital “evidence of a human” tool; These announcements are part of his efforts for millions of people to apply.

After scanning an eyeball with one of his silver metal balls – or now, one of his minisi ORB – the world will give you a unique identifier on Blockchain to check that you are human.

The ORB Mini, a reference to larger devices of the company, looks like a smartphone and is designed to be transparent, a tool for a spokesman for humanity for Techcrunch in Brifing told. Thomas Meyerhoff, a former Apple designer, helped design an orb mini, according to people who are familiar with the new product.

The main purpose of the orb mini is to check more people, not necessarily use applications, call calls or send texts. However, a spokesman said it was not clear what the ultimate functionality of the device would be like.

Tools for humanity also run their world network in the US on Thursday, and will open stores in Austin, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville and San Francisco. The stores, which the world already has in other countries are designed for people who come and scan the eyeballs that scanned one of the beads of the company.

The world project claims that 26 million people have applied and 12 million people have been confirmed worldwide. Today, the company has a greater presence in Latin America, South America and Asia – but the announcement on Wednesday aims to increase the project in the United States

While the company was lightweight on the details of its ORB mini, the device seems to be an effort to spread the distribution of its check devices. While world goals have changed over the years, the ball looks fundamental in their mission.

The key question around the world is whether one day it will partner with another venture of Altman, Openi. It is unclear whether orb mini have any AI features or is related to AI device Openai reportedly works.
