世界幣更名為“世界”，擴大其對抗人工智慧機器人的使命

ChatGPT 製造商 OpenAI 的共同創辦人兼執行長 Sam Altman 過去兩年充滿了行動。但這並沒有阻止人工智慧

Sam Altman, the co-founder and CEO of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, has been keeping busy with his many side projects over the past two years. One of those ventures is Worldcoin, an obscure initiative dedicated to human identification. Last month, Altman announced a series of updates to Worldcoin that will see improvements to various features supporting the venture’s “proof of personhood” mission.

ChatGPT 製造商 OpenAI 的共同創辦人兼執行長 Sam Altman 在過去兩年裡一直忙於他的許多副業專案。其中一個項目是世界幣，這是一項致力於人類身分識別的默默無聞的倡議。上個月，奧特曼宣布了對世界幣的一系列更新，這些更新將改進支持該企業「人格證明」使命的各種功能。

Worldcoin, which was founded in 2019 and publicly launched last year, is a project from Tools for Humanity, a startup established by Altman and Alex Blania, a former deep learning researcher at Caltech. The company’s initial mission was to use digital identification to distribute its own crypto token, WLD, to all humans as a form of a universal basic income, a concept Altman has been interested in for years.

Worldcoin 成立於 2019 年，並於去年公開推出，是 Tools for Humanity 的一個項目，Tools for Humanity 是一家由 Altman 和加州理工學院前深度學習研究員 Alex Blania 創立的新創公司。該公司最初的使命是使用數位識別將自己的加密代幣 WLD 作為普遍基本收入的一種形式分發給所有人，這是 Altman 多年來一直感興趣的概念。

In a future where A.I. is ubiquitous, Worldcoin wants to develop tools that will help distinguish humans from bots. “We started thinking about the infrastructure that society was going to need if A.I. really started to happen,” Altman said during a Worldcoin event last month.

在人工智慧無所不在的未來，世界幣希望開發有助於區分人類和機器人的工具。 「我們開始考慮如果人工智慧真正開始出現，社會將需要的基礎設施，」奧特曼在上個月的世界幣活動中說道。

To that end, Altman and Blania announced at the event that Worldcoin will be rebranded to “World” going forward because the new name better encapsulates the project’s new mission “to accelerate every human.”

為此，奧特曼和布拉尼亞在活動中宣布，世界幣今後將更名為“世界”，因為新名稱更好地體現了該項目“加速每個人類”的新使命。

Here's how Worldcoin even works:

世界幣的運作方式如下：

In order to verify human identities, World uses a product known as ‘the Orb.’ The circular biometric devices scan human eyes to collect unique iris data that becomes part of one’s World ID. The venture chose iris fragments instead of the more traditional fingerprints or face data route because iris biometrics contain more unique details and are less susceptible to external change, it claims.

為了驗證人類身份，World 使用了一種名為「The Orb」的產品。圓形生物辨識設備掃描人眼以收集獨特的虹膜數據，這些數據將成為個人世界 ID 的一部分。該公司聲稱，該公司選擇虹膜碎片而不是更傳統的指紋或臉部數據路線，因為虹膜生物辨識技術包含更多獨特的細節，而且不易受到外部變化的影響。

World recently unveiled its next-generation Orb, which is powered by Nvidia (NVDA)’s Jetson chipset and boasts an A.I. performance that is nearly five times better than the previous version. It is also improving accessibility to Orbs, which will be available at flagship locations, self-serve kiosks and can be ordered by individuals through an on-demand service.

World 最近推出了下一代 Orb，它由 Nvidia (NVDA) 的 Jetson 晶片組提供支持，其 AI 性能比之前的版本提高了近五倍。它還正在改善 Orbs 的可訪問性，Orbs 將在旗艦店、自助服務亭提供，並且可以由個人透過按需服務訂購。

Updates were additionally announced to World ID, which will now offer enhanced privacy features and the new feature known as Deep Face that will help users identify A.I. deepfakes on video calls like FaceTime, WhatsApp and Zoom. Meanwhile, a new version of the project’s World App—which stores the World ID—will now feature a platform allowing third party apps to run inside the platform.

World ID 也宣布了更新，現在將提供增強的隱私功能和名為 Deep Face 的新功能，該功能將幫助用戶在 FaceTime、WhatsApp 和 Zoom 等視訊通話中識別 AI 深度假貨。同時，該專案的 World App 的新版本（儲存 World ID）現在將提供一個平台，允許第三方應用程式在該平台內運行。

According to Altman and Blania, World is halfway through its four-step roadmap. Having accomplished the development of the Orb and a blockchain network, it is currently working on scaling and will eventually tackle the fourth stage of redistributing the benefits of A.I.

根據 Altman 和 Blania 的說法，World 的四步路線圖已完成一半。完成了 Orb 和區塊鏈網路的開發後，目前正在致力於擴展，並將最終解決人工智慧利益重新分配的第四階段

“We want to see what happens when we do this at mass scale,” said Altman. While the venture has for years maintained its goal of reaching one billion users by 2023, it currently only has 15 million World ID holders. “It’s great that we’ve signed up so many people, but there’s 99.9 percent left to go,” said the OpenAI CEO.

奧特曼說：“我們想看看大規模這樣做時會發生什麼。”儘管該公司多年來一直堅持到 2023 年用戶數量達到 10 億的目標，但目前 World ID 持有者僅有 1500 萬。 「我們已經招募了這麼多人，這真是太棒了，但還有 99.9% 的人需要離開，」OpenAI 執行長說。
