Project with close ties to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman taking measure to bolster trust and transparency as Worldcoin keeps growing.
Although Worldcoin has always maintained it is highly protective of peoples' biometric data when scanning their eyeballs to prove they are human, the project is now implementing a plan designed to build additional trust.
The project's personal custody plan was first teased back in December when Worldcoin announced details for its World ID 2.0, dubbed "a human passport for the internet." Sada is head of product, engineering and design at Tools for Humanity, the lead software contributor behind the Worldcoin project. Tools for Humanity was co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.Worldcoin has signed up about 4.5 million people since launching about eight months ago, according to the project’s website. During that time, it has been scrutinized several times by different government agencies.
"This approach gives control over the flow of this data, not just deletion, but any future use prior to being deleted. Previously, this information was deleted by default," Worldcoin also said in its statement.
