山姆·奧特曼（Sam Altman）有爭議的區塊鏈項目World正在美國推出

世界上的球體 - 鍍鉻，保齡球的球形設備，掃描一個人的眼球以確認其身份 - 最初將在六個“關鍵創新樞紐”中使用美國人使用

Sam Altman’s controversial blockchain project, World, is launching in the U.S. – and said it intends to roll out 7,500 eye-scanning “orbs” in cities across the country by the end of the year.

山姆·奧特曼（Sam Altman）備受爭議的區塊鏈項目世界正在美國推出 - 並表示打算在今年年底之前在全國各地的城市推出7,500張眼球的“球”。

World’s orbs — chrome, bowling ball-shaped devices that scan a person’s eyeballs to confirm their identity — will initially be available to Americans in six “key innovation hubs,” the company said: Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville and San Francisco. Those who decide to take the plunge and gaze into the orb will gain access to the World app and receive an airdrop of World’s WLD token.

該公司表示，世界上的球體 - 鍍鉻，保齡球球形的設備，掃描一個人的眼球以確認其身份 - 最初將在六個“關鍵創新樞紐”中的美國人使用：亞特蘭大，奧斯汀，洛杉磯，邁阿密，邁阿密，納什維爾，納什維爾和舊金山。那些決定冒險並凝視Orb的人將訪問世界應用程序，並獲得世界上WLD代幣的空投。

By the end of the year, the project aims to have enough orbs spread throughout the U.S. to give 180 million Americans, more than half the population, access to World’s network.

到今年年底，該項目的目標是在美國各地散佈足夠的球體，使1.8億美國人（超過一半的人口）進入世界網絡。

Altman and other executives at World’s parent company Tools for Humanity announced the U.S. expansion at a press conference in San Francisco on Wednesday evening, along with a dizzying slew of new features and partnerships for the project.

世界母公司人類工具的Altman和其他高管在周三晚上在舊金山舉行的新聞發布會上宣布了美國的擴張，以及該項目的許多新功能和合作夥伴關係令人震驚。

The World app will now offer its users access to crypto-backed loans through non-custodial lending protocol Morpho and prediction markets through Kalshi. Later this year, WLD holders will be able to spend their tokens like cash with a new World-linked Visa debit card. The project is even integrating its identity-verification technology into some online dating apps. Starting with Tinder users in Japan, online dating giant Match Group will pilot using World ID to verify the ages of its users.

現在，該世界應用程序將通過非監測貸款協議Morpho和通過Kalshi的預測市場為用戶提供獲得加密支持的貸款。今年晚些時候，WLD持有人將能夠用新的世界鏈接簽證借記卡來花費像Cash這樣的令牌。該項目甚至將其身份驗證技術集成到某些在線約會應用程序中。從日本的Tinder用戶開始，在線約會巨頭比賽組將使用世界ID駕駛以驗證其用戶的年齡。

Altman said that the idea for World predated OpenAI, his generative artificial intelligence (AI) company.

阿爾特曼說，世界上的想法是他的生成人工智能（AI）公司Openai。

“We needed some sort of way for authenticating humans in the age of [artificial general intelligence],” Altman said during the press conference. “We needed a way that we could know what content was made by humans, [and what was made] by AI. We wanted a way to make sure that humans stayed special and central in a world where the internet was going to have lots of AI-driven content.”

“我們需要某種方式來驗證[人工通用情報]時代的人類，”阿爾特曼在新聞發布會上說。 “我們需要一種方法，我們可以知道人類製造了什麼內容，以及AI所做的內容。我們希望一種方法來確保人類在互聯網將擁有很多AI驅動內容的世界中保持與眾不同和中心。”

Altman’s initial ideas about how to solve the problem of human verification were “very crazy,” he said – World and its eye-scanning orbs, only a little.

他說，阿爾特曼關於如何解決人類驗證問題的最初想法是“非常瘋狂的”，他說 - 世界及其眼球的球體，只有一點。

World is the latest crypto project to announce a U.S. expansion. Since President Donald Trump took office in January, the regulatory environment has become much friendlier to crypto projects.

世界是宣布美國擴張的最新加密項目。自從唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統於1月份上任以來，監管環境已成為加密項目的友好。

The company announced it would be building a factory in Richardson, Texas – a suburb of Dallas – to help produce the orbs needed for its coming U.S. expansion. After the initial rollout, other major cities including Seattle, Orlando, San Diego and Las Vegas will receive the second wave of orbs.

該公司宣布將在德克薩斯州理查森（Dallas of Dallas）建造一家工廠，以幫助生產其即將到來的美國擴張所需的球體。最初推出後，包括西雅圖，奧蘭多，聖地亞哥和拉斯維加斯在內的其他主要城市將獲得第二波球。

“They will really be everywhere,” said Alex Blania, Tools for Humanity’s co-founder. “They will be in gas stations, convenience stores, and you will be able to verify within 10 minutes wherever you are.”

“他們真的無處不在，”人類聯合創始人工具亞歷克斯·布蘭尼亞（Alex Blania）說。 “它們將在加油站，便利店裡，您將能夠在10分鐘內驗證。”
