OpenAI 首席执行官 Sam Altman 的加密货币项目 Worldcoin 即将在奥地利推出。这是由位于慕尼黑的德国运营公司 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 首席执行官 Sam Altman 创立的加密货币项目 Worldcoin 宣布通过德国运营公司 Tools for Humanity 登陆奥地利。

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.

该项目旨在创建通用数字身份，将在维也纳设立三个扫描点。有兴趣的人可以访问这些网站进行眼睛扫描并获得“世界ID”。该 ID 将用于在在线交互中将它们与人工智能生成的软件机器人区分开来。

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

迄今为止，来自 39 个国家的约 630 万人参与了该倡议。

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 与加密货币 Worldcoin (WLD) 相关联，该加密货币少量分发给普通用户。该数字货币还在特定的加密货币交易所进行交易，允许用户将其兑换为传统的法定货币。然而，WLD 代币最近经历了明显的价值下跌。

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

3月份，价格一度突破10欧元，但到7月底已跌至2.10欧元。

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

该项目的资金主要来自安德森霍洛维茨和贝恩资本的早期风险投资。

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."

德国、奥地利和瑞士 Tools for Humanity 总经理弗里德里克·伦布罗索-鲍姆加特纳 (Friederike Lumbroso-Baumgartner) 在接受德新社采访时强调，该项目的最初目标是“迅速而雄心勃勃地扩展到其他市场”。

"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.

“我们希望让尽可能多的人尽快获得‘世界 ID’，”她说，并补充说他们未来将继续致力于进一步的创新。

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还强调，World ID和Worldcoin项目完全遵守欧洲通用数据保护条例（GDPR）的要求。

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

她指出，在维也纳推出之前，他们咨询了奥地利数据保护机构。

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.

虽然 Worldcoin 不会为 World ID 虹膜扫描收集任何额外的个人数据，例如姓名、出生日期或地址，但这一概念引起了政治家和当局的怀疑。

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.

在欧洲，巴伐利亚州数据保护监督办公室负责监督该项目。运营公司最近从埃尔兰根迁至慕尼黑。

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”与加密货币世界币（WLD）挂钩，该加密货币也在特定的加密货币交易所进行交易，并且可以兑换为传统货币。

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.

尽管最近WLD的价值有所下降，但用户在进行“世界ID”验证过程后，仍然会收到少量的数字货币。
