There’s also OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s other venture, Tools for Humanity, which is said to be carrying out layoffs according to Business Insider. TechCrunch has contacted the company seeking confirmation. You may recognize Tools for Humanity from its verification initiative called World, along with the associated device — an unsettling silver orb designed to scan people’s irises. The concept is for the company to confirm individuals’ identities via distinctive iris scans, enabling it to differentiate real human behavior from automated bot actions in the progressively AI-driven ecosystem being built by Tools for Humanity co-founder and chairman Altman. The company also planned to utilize these iris scans to verify users’ identities, facilitating transactions with its proprietary cryptocurrency, Worldcoin.

These ambiguous and questionable goals were sufficient to secure funding at a $2.5 billion valuation from backers including Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital, and other blockchain-focused investors. The company is now said to be shrinking as it grapples with generating revenue. In the U.S., firms such as Tinder, Zoom, and DocuSign have teamed up with Altman’s side initiative.
