A cryptocurrency project described as being “dystopian” has been launched by AI entrepreneur Sam Altman.
Worldcoin gives people digital coins in exchange for a scan of their eyeballs.
In sites around the world thousands of people queued to gaze into silver orbs on day one of the project’s full launch.
Mr Altman, the chief executive of Open AI which built chat bot ChatGPT says he hopes the initiative will help confirm if someone is a human or a robot.

I guess I will have to use somebody else's eyeball… Go ahead suckers, trust a multinational.
Why are supposedly serious news broadcasters like the BBC giving a gimmick-crypto currency free advertising? Are you really that out of touch with the current state of events, or did you get paid under the table? Not in crypto, I hope…
Don't throw your I.D. away like this.
You are so going to be ripped off when the data is sold.
New world order
kinda sounds like the book of revelation… just sayin.
bbc robbing you blind again
Imagine giving away your biometrics for 40 bucks LMAO
Cryto eye ball scam !! 😂👍
Hands off my balls!
They'll want your DNA next.
Wouldn't eyeball scanning make the funds much less transferrable? (In case the account holder passes away, for example.)
Typo, Crypto eyeball scam
Jack Dorsey is no crypto fan at all, he is a Bitcoin maximalist
Someone will find a way to beat that system
