Distinguishing humans from Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly complex as AI technologies advance. Humans possess qualities such as consciousness, emotions, and creativity that set them apart from anything technology might have produced. However, modern AI systems can simulate human-like conversations, solve intricate problems, and even generate creative content. Because of these qualities of AI, it has become extremely difficult to authenticate a user's identity.
In order to differentiate between AI and humans, Worldcoin has made a new technology available. It's a shiny ball with cameras to scan your eyeballs.

The project Worldcoin was introduced by Tools for Humanity and was co-founded in 2019 by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Some people are worried about privacy because using eye scans might not be very safe for your information. But Worldcoin says they're not saving any data.
Worldcoin is an open source protocol, or system, created to help give everyone access to the global economy. It's designed to be
