OpenAI CEO Sam Altman surprised many with the launch of Operator, an autonomous AI agent capable of performing tasks online. However, his other venture, the World project, focuses on creating 'proof of human' tools to differentiate between humans and AI agents. By scanning an individual's eye, World assigns a blockchain-based identifier to verify humanity and aims to link AI agents to their human counterparts online. This pivot marks World’s shift from crypto to identifying persons in an increasingly AI-driven era.
This idea of delegating your 'proof of personhood' to an agent and letting it act on your behalf is actually super important.
After scanning your eyeball with a silver metal orb, World will give you a unique identifier on the blockchain to verify that you're a human.
