Sam Altman , cofounder and CEO of OpenAI , co-founded Worldcoin .

Altman and technologist Alex Blania teamed up to develop an iris -scanning orb to verify citizens' identities.

The Orb is smaller than the previous version, and runs on Nvidia’s Jetson chipset.

In Latin America starting next year , the Orb will be ordered on-demand like a pizza.

Tools for Humanity hopes to build the “largest finance network” on the planet.

The World app, for now, is free for everyone to use, and it’s free to scan your eyeballs, too.

The company is doing “like, a thousand things” to ensure a more rigorous consent process.
