世界幣計畫也在奧地利啟動

OpenAI 執行長 Sam Altman 的加密貨幣專案 Worldcoin 即將在奧地利推出。這是由位於慕尼黑的德國營運公司 Tools for Humanity 宣布的。

Worldcoin, the cryptocurrency project founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has announced its arrival in Austria through German operating company Tools for Humanity.

OpenAI 執行長 Sam Altman 創立的加密貨幣專案 Worldcoin 宣布透過德國營運公司 Tools for Humanity 登陸奧地利。

The project, which aims to create a universal digital identity, will see three scanning locations set up in Vienna. Interested parties can visit these sites to have their eyes scanned and obtain a "World ID." This ID will serve to distinguish them from AI-generated software bots in online interactions.

該計畫旨在創建通用數位身份，將在維也納設立三個掃描點。有興趣的人可以訪問這些網站進行眼睛掃描並獲得“世界ID”。該 ID 將用於在線上互動中將它們與人工智慧生成的軟體機器人區分開來。

To date, around 6.3 million individuals across 39 countries have participated in the initiative.

迄今為止，來自 39 個國家的約 630 萬人參與了該倡議。

The World ID is linked to the cryptocurrency Worldcoin (WLD), which is distributed in small quantities to regular users. The digital currency is also traded on specific cryptocurrency exchanges, allowing users to exchange it for traditional fiat currencies. However, the WLD token has experienced a notable decline in value recently.

World ID 與加密貨幣 Worldcoin (WLD) 相關聯，該加密貨幣少量分發給普通用戶。該數位貨幣還在特定的加密貨幣交易所進行交易，允許用戶將其兌換為傳統的法定貨幣。然而，WLD 代幣的價值最近經歷了顯著下跌。

In March, the price briefly surpassed 10 euros, but it had fallen to 2.10 euros by the end of July.

3月份，價格一度突破10歐元，但到7月底已跌至2.10歐元。

The project is largely funded by early-stage venture capital investments from Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital.

該項目的資金主要來自安德森霍洛維茨和貝恩資本的早期風險投資。

Speaking to dpa, Friederike Lumbroso-Baumgartner, General Manager at Tools for Humanity for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, highlighted the project's initial goal of "quickly and ambitiously expanding to other markets."

德國、奧地利和瑞士Tools for Humanity 總經理弗里德里克·倫布羅索-鮑姆加特納(Friederike Lumbroso-Baumgartner) 在接受德新社採訪時強調，該項目的最初目標是「迅速而雄心勃勃地擴展到其他市場」。

"We want to enable as many people as possible to get the 'World ID' as quickly as possible," she said, adding that they will continue to work on further innovations in the future.

“我們希望讓盡可能多的人盡快獲得‘世界 ID’，”她說，並補充說他們未來將繼續致力於進一步的創新。

Lumbroso-Baumgartner also emphasized that the World ID and the Worldcoin project fully adhere to the requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Lumbroso-Baumgartner也強調，World ID和Worldcoin專案完全遵守歐洲一般資料保護規範（GDPR）的要求。

Prior to launching in Vienna, they consulted with the Austrian data protection authority, she noted.

她指出，在維也納推出之前，他們諮詢了奧地利資料保護機構。

While Worldcoin does not collect any additional personal data, such as name, date of birth, or address, for the World ID iris scan, the concept has drawn skepticism from politicians and authorities.

雖然 Worldcoin 不會為 World ID 虹膜掃描收集任何額外的個人數據，例如姓名、出生日期或地址，但這一概念引起了政治家和當局的懷疑。

In Europe, the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision is tasked with overseeing the project. The operating company recently relocated from Erlangen to Munich.

在歐洲，巴伐利亞州資料保護監督辦公室負責監督此專案。營運公司最近從埃爾蘭根遷至慕尼黑。

The "World ID" is linked to the cryptocurrency Worldcoin (WLD), which is also traded on specific cryptocurrency exchanges and can be exchanged for traditional currencies.

「世界ID」與加密貨幣世界幣（WLD）掛鉤，該加密貨幣也在特定的加密貨幣交易所進行交易，並且可以兌換為傳統貨幣。

Despite the recent decrease in WLD's value, users still receive small amounts of the digital currency after having their eyes scanned for the "World ID" verification process.

儘管最近WLD的價值有所下降，但用戶在進行「世界ID」驗證過程後，仍會收到少量的數位貨幣。
