Sam Altman's Eye-Scanning Orb Is Now Coming to the US
At a high-profile event in San Francisco, World announced it is launching a series of Apple-like stores, as well as a partnership with dating giant Match Group.
Sam Altman’s iris-scanning, identify-verification technology startup is expanding to the US, and will attempt to bridge the divide between blockchain-based financial networks and the payment services most often used here.
