OpenAI boss Sam Altman denies his involvement in the day-to-day operations of Worldcoin. It is during a conference organized at the University of Tel-Aviv that the boss of the company behind ChatGPT made these claims. Worldcoin just raised $115 million in a Series C led by Blockchain Capital.
Why does Sam Altman say he is not involved enough in Worldcoin?
During the conference at the University of Tel-Aviv including a extract appears in a YouTube video, Altman spoke with Dr. Nadav Cohen and others. The discussion focused on trends in AI technology. As the discussion drew to a close, one participant asked Sam Altman to reveal his “future plans” regarding the Worldcoin project.
” I am an investor “replied Sam Altman. ” I kind of helped set up the business, but I’m not at all involved on a day-to-day basis.

Worldcoin projects
One of Worldcoin’s goals is to build a comprehensive identification system. As we say Coinspectatorthe project also wants to create a financial framework that supports the principles of Universal Basic Income (UBI). This project will be based on Ethereum and will offer two services: World ID and World App.
While World ID is supposed to provide AI-resistant and iris-dependent identification procedures. World App for its part focuses on improving decentralized identification. Worldcoin’s seemingly lofty goals don’t sit well with everyone. In October 2021, Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor and whistleblower, said to himself wary of recording users’ eyeballs. Second, the MIT Technology Review called out the project in April 2022 for allegedly deceiving and exploited citizens of third world countries to expand its user base.
Despite the many benefits that a unique digital identity presents, the cybersecurity threat remains. Techcrunch, for example, reported a data breach Worldcoin last month. Could ChatGPT be able to find a solution to this problem?
