Mexican Early Adopters Contribute to Global Biometric Initiative

The Worldcoin project, led by Sam Altman, is using a biometric verification tool called the Orb to scan participants' irises in Mexico and other countries, with the aim of creating a unique digital identification for everyone. The project seeks to distinguish humans from bots online and offers a cryptocurrency bonus as an incentive. While some participants are not concerned about privacy, others have raised concerns about security risks and the retention of biometric data. The project's organizers assure that only the iris code, a unique numerical code, is stored and used for identity verification.
