OpenAI 和 Worldcoin 在监管审查中探索合作伙伴关系

据报道，在严格的监管审查下，Sam Altman 领导的 OpenAI 正在探索与 Altman 共同创立的风险投资公司 Worldcoin 合作。据推测，这种合作伙伴关系可以为世界币的加密货币和身份验证工作提供人工智能解决方案，从而有可能增强协同效应。然而，考虑到 Altman 参与两家公司以及围绕人工智能驱动技术的持续监管担忧，潜在的合作可能会面临政府加强监管。

Amidst Heightened Regulatory Scrutiny, OpenAI and Worldcoin Engage in Potential Partnership Discussions

在加强监管审查的情况下，OpenAI 和 Worldcoin 参与潜在合作伙伴讨论

San Francisco, California - January 27, 2023 - Amidst escalating regulatory scrutiny, OpenAI, the artificial intelligence (AI) research and development company co-founded and led by Sam Altman, is reportedly engaged in discussions with Worldcoin, another venture co-founded by Altman. These discussions, as detailed by Bloomberg, hold the potential for forging a mutually beneficial partnership that could provide AI solutions to the cryptocurrency and identity verification firm.

加利福尼亚州旧金山 - 2023 年 1 月 27 日 - 在不断升级的监管审查中，由 Sam Altman 共同创立并领导的人工智能 (AI) 研发公司 OpenAI 据报道正在与 Worldcoin 进行讨论，Worldcoin 是由 Sam Altman 共同创立的另一家企业奥特曼。正如彭博社详细介绍的那样，这些讨论有可能建立互惠互利的合作伙伴关系，为加密货币和身份验证公司提供人工智能解决方案。

Cointelegraph, an independent news outlet covering the blockchain and cryptocurrency industries, has reported on the ongoing talks between OpenAI and Worldcoin. Worldcoin, founded by Altman and Alex Blania, is a cryptocurrency-based universal basic income and identity verification firm. Bloomberg's report suggests that the two companies are exploring a potential collaboration in which OpenAI would offer AI solutions and services to Worldcoin, with the possibility of additional synergies emerging in the future.

Cointelegraph 是一家涵盖区块链和加密货币行业的独立新闻媒体，报道了 OpenAI 和 Worldcoin 之间正在进行的谈判。 Worldcoin 由 Altman 和 Alex Blania 创立，是一家基于加密货币的全民基本收入和身份验证公司。彭博社的报告表明，两家公司正在探索潜在的合作，OpenAI 将为 Worldcoin 提供人工智能解决方案和服务，未来可能会出现更多的协同效应。

Given Altman's leadership positions at both OpenAI and Worldcoin, any potential collaboration between the two entities is likely to attract increased governmental oversight. Alex Blania, CEO of Tools for Humanity, the non-profit foundation behind Worldcoin, acknowledged this heightened scrutiny in an interview with Bloomberg, stating, "I think it's just because of Sam. Just, like, much more attention than you would usually face as a company of that size or a project of that size."

鉴于 Altman 在 OpenAI 和 Worldcoin 的领导地位，两个实体之间的任何潜在合作都可能会吸引更多的政府监管。世界币背后的非营利基金会 Tools for Humanity 的首席执行官亚历克斯·布兰尼亚 (Alex Blania) 在接受彭博社采访时承认了这种严格的审查，他表示：“我认为这只是因为萨姆。只是，就像，比你通常面临的更多关注作为这样规模的公司或这样规模的项目。”

Worldcoin has garnered significant attention as one of the world's most active universal basic income and identity verification systems. The platform boasts an average of two million members daily, who can register their digital identities by scanning their irises using Worldcoin's proprietary hardware, known as "orbs." Those who join the service in permitted locations receive 10 WLD tokens (currently valued at approximately $4.81) and can earn an additional two tokens per month thereafter.

世界币作为世界上最活跃的普遍基本收入和身份验证系统之一，引起了广泛关注。该平台平均每天有 200 万会员，他们可以使用世界币的专有硬件（称为“球体”）扫描虹膜来注册自己的数字身份。在允许的地点加入该服务的人将收到 10 个 WLD 代币（当前价值约为 4.81 美元），此后每月还可额外赚取 2 个代币。

Despite Worldcoin's rapid growth, it has also faced controversy and regulatory challenges. In the first three months of 2024, the platform was banned in Portugal, Kenya, and Spain. Additionally, the European Union has threatened to investigate OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft as a potential merger, although the company ultimately avoided such claims.

尽管世界币发展迅速，但它也面临争议和监管挑战。 2024 年前三个月，该平台在葡萄牙、肯尼亚和西班牙被禁止。此外，欧盟还威胁要将 OpenAI 与微软的合作关系视为潜在合并进行调查，尽管该公司最终避免了此类指控。

Undeterred by these setbacks, Worldcoin has continued to expand its operations and increase its token supply. The company has recently launched its own blockchain, a layer-2 solution that prioritizes confirmed Worldcoin users over bots. Worldcoin has also announced plans to increase the supply of WLD tokens by 36 million over the next six months, representing a value of approximately $196 million, as part of a sell-off to select institutions.

世界币并没有被这些挫折吓倒，继续扩大业务并增加代币供应。该公司最近推出了自己的区块链，这是一种第二层解决方案，优先考虑已确认的世界币用户而不是机器人。 Worldcoin 还宣布计划在未来六个月内将 WLD 代币的供应量增加 3600 万枚，价值约 1.96 亿美元，作为向特定机构抛售的一部分。

Despite having between 300 and 500 orbs in the field, Worldcoin is reportedly experiencing a scarcity of these devices. The company is actively looking to expand its operations and acquire additional orbs to meet the growing demand for its services.

据报道，尽管现场有 300 到 500 个球体，但 Worldcoin 正在经历这些设备的稀缺。该公司正在积极寻求扩大业务并收购更多球体，以满足对其服务不断增长的需求。

The discussions between OpenAI and Worldcoin come at a time of heightened regulatory scrutiny within the AI and cryptocurrency industries. Governments worldwide are grappling with the potential risks and benefits of these emerging technologies and are seeking to develop appropriate regulatory frameworks. The outcome of these negotiations and the future of the potential partnership between OpenAI and Worldcoin will be closely watched by stakeholders in both industries.

OpenAI 和 Worldcoin 之间的讨论正值人工智能和加密货币行业监管审查更加严格之际。世界各国政府正在努力应对这些新兴技术的潜在风险和好处，并寻求制定适当的监管框架。这些谈判的结果以及 OpenAI 和 Worldcoin 之间潜在合作伙伴关系的未来将受到两个行业利益相关者的密切关注。
