世界币虹膜扫描球即将登陆马来西亚

“Orbs 即将登陆马来西亚，”世界币的新公告称。 “验证你的人性。”这家虹膜生物识别、数字身份和加密货币公司激怒了全球数字监管机构，但其即将在马来西亚的部署得到了政府的批准

Iris biometrics, digital ID and cryptocurrency firm Worldcoin has announced plans to deploy its technology in Malaysia, following a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with applied research and development agency Mimos Berhad, the Worldcoin Foundation, Tools for Humanity (TFH) and e-government services provider MyEG.

虹膜生物识别、数字 ID 和加密货币公司 Worldcoin 宣布计划在马来西亚部署其技术，此前与应用研究和开发机构 Mimos Berhad、Worldcoin 基金会、Tools for Humanity (TFH) 和电子政务签署了谅解备忘录 (MOU)服务提供商 MyEG。

According to Worldcoin’s blog, the MOU will ‘leverage the Worldcoin protocol and TFH technologies to improve ongoing and future work related to digital credentials.’ MIMOS will serve as the technical backbone, while MyEG will bring infrastructure and support for integration.

根据 Worldcoin 的博客，该谅解备忘录将“利用 Worldcoin 协议和 TFH 技术来改进与数字凭证相关的正在进行和未来的工作。” MIMO 将作为技术支柱，而 MyEG 将带来基础设施和集成支持。

The two previously signed an MOU in 2022 to jointly build the Malaysia Blockchain Infrastructure (MBI).

两人此前曾于2022年签署谅解备忘录，共同建设马来西亚区块链基础设施（MBI）。

The new agreement appears to cover a broad swath of potential collaborations on digital infrastructure, manufacturing and national blockchain projects. It promises to ripple throughout Malaysia’s economy, contributing to the development of a new skilled digital workforce and improving security, efficiency and scalability of digital ecosystems.

新协议似乎涵盖了数字基础设施、制造业和国家区块链项目方面的广泛潜在合作。它有望波及整个马来西亚经济，有助于培养新的熟练数字劳动力，并提高数字生态系统的安全性、效率和可扩展性。

Of course, it also means Malaysians can have their irises scanned by a Worldcoin Orb, which the company says provides “proof of humanness.”

当然，这也意味着马来西亚人可以使用 Worldcoin Orb 扫描虹膜，该公司称这提供了“人性的证明”。

Ecuadorian deployment generates concern

厄瓜多尔的部署引发担忧

Ecuador, for one, wants a little more clarity on what that means, exactly. Just two months after Worldcoin set up iris scanning operations in two cities there, the South American nation’s Superintendency of Companies has issued an alert raising concerns about “risks associated with the delivery of biometric data” to the company and parent TFH.

厄瓜多尔就是其中之一，希望更清楚地了解这到底意味着什么。就在 Worldcoin 在当地两个城市设立虹膜扫描业务两个月后，南美国家公司监管局发布了一份警报，引发了对该公司及其母公司 TFH 的“与生物识别数据传输相关的风险”的担忧。

The alert makes special note of Worldcoin’s favorite offer: biometrics for bucks – specifically, WLD cryptocurrency tokens. “This practice, which was recently registered in Guayaquil, has generated concern among the authorities,” reads a machine translation. “This is due to a lack of clarity regarding the use of this sensitive information.”

该警报特别提到了 Worldcoin 最喜欢的产品：生物识别技术——特别是 WLD 加密货币代币。 “这种做法最近在瓜亚基尔登记，引起了当局的关注，”机器翻译写道。 “这是由于这些敏感信息的使用缺乏明确性。”

Worldcoin tests ‘no such thing as bad publicity’ axiom

世界币测试“没有不良宣传”的公理

Worldcoin has definitely broken into the mainstream news cycle, with recent pieces from The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and Bloomberg Technology.

随着《华尔街日报》（WSJ）和彭博科技公司最近的报道，世界币无疑已经进入了主流新闻周期。

“Sam Altman is battling with governments over your eyes,” says the headline in WSJ. The company, writes author Angus Berwick, “has been raided in Hong Kong, blocked in Spain, fined in Argentina and criminally investigated in Kenya. A ruling looms on whether it can keep operating in the European Union.”

《华尔街日报》的标题是：“萨姆·奥尔特曼正在与政府争夺你的眼睛”。作家安格斯·贝威克（Angus Berwick）写道，该公司“在香港遭到突击搜查，在西班牙遭到封锁，在阿根廷被罚款，在肯尼亚受到刑事调查。关于它是否可以继续在欧盟运营的裁决即将到来。”

After cataloging the various run-ins with the law Worldcoin has had over the course of its relatively short existence, the piece cites recent trading prices to estimate that “the total pool of WLD is theoretically worth some $15 billion.” It says the Cayman Islands-based Worldcoin Foundation still controls 97 percent of WLD, “meaning the price is set by a small pool of currency in circulation.”

在对世界币在其相对较短的存在过程中与法律发生的各种冲突进行分类之后，该文章引用了最近的交易价格来估计“理论上，世界币的总池价值约为 150 亿美元”。据称，总部位于开曼群岛的 Worldcoin 基金会仍控制着 WLD 的 97%，“这意味着价格是由一小部分流通货币决定的。”

It also quotes Worldcoin Chief Privacy officer Damien Kieran, who argues Wolrdcoin’s iris scanning technology is “by default is privacy-enhancing. We don’t collect data to harvest it. We don’t sell data. In fact, we couldn’t sell it, because we don’t know who the data belongs to.” Worldcoin says 6,482,058 humans have had their irises scanned by Orbs to date.

它还引用了 Worldcoin 首席隐私官 Damien Kieran 的话，他认为 Wolrdcoin 的虹膜扫描技术“默认情况下是增强隐私的。我们收集数据不是为了收获它。我们不出售数据。事实上，我们无法出售它，因为我们不知道这些数据属于谁。” Worldcoin 表示，迄今为止，已有 6,482,058 人接受了 Orbs 虹膜扫描。

One noteworthy point in Berwick’s article is that Worldcoin is effectively proposing to alleviate a problem – synthetic humans, false identities, deepfakes – that he helped create with ChatGPT and other OpenAI projects.

Berwick 文章中值得注意的一点是，Worldcoin 有效地提议缓解他通过 ChatGPT 和其他 OpenAI 项目帮助创建的一个问题——合成人类、虚假身份、深度伪造。

For Bloomberg, Worldcoin tags in TFH CEO Alex Blania, who co-founded Worldcoin with Altman. Noting that the project “can sound nuts” and that Blania himself has estimated a five percent chance that it will see widespread success, a panel grills the CEO on – once again – how clear the company has been with those whose iris biometrics it has collected.

对于彭博社来说，世界币的标签是 TFH 首席执行官 Alex Blania，他与 Altman 共同创立了世界币。一个小组注意到该项目“听起来很疯狂”，而且布兰尼亚本人估计该项目有 5% 的机会获得广泛成功，因此，一个小组再次向首席执行官询问该公司对收集虹膜生物识别信息的人的了解程度如何。

Blania responds by arguing that “you don’t understand most of the technologies you’re using. That’s not the point. You understand why you’re doing it and what comes out of it for you.” He calls Worldcoin “truly critical” for “our democracy and things we care about.”

布拉尼亚回应道，“你不了解你正在使用的大部分技术。这不是重点。你明白为什么要这样做，以及这样做会给你带来什么。”他称世界币对于“我们的民主和我们关心的事情”“真正至关重要”。
