Alex Blania, CEO of Worldcoin, a company that wants billions of people to scan their irises to create a global system of authentication, says that a global form of ID is coming ‘whether you like it or not’.

When I worked at Citibank back in 2013, we were forced to go in and out through the high-security areas using iris scanning machines that allowed or denied us access. Iris scanning technology is not new, but the CEO of OpenAI and ChatGPT wants to make its use mandatory for anyone online through the form of a ‘World ID’ and a device they’ve invented called ‘The Orb’. Reminds me of the the crazy glowing orb that Donald Trump put his hands on when he visited Saudi Arabia in 2017.
