世界币更名为“世界”，扩大其对抗人工智能机器人的使命

ChatGPT 制造商 OpenAI 的联合创始人兼首席执行官 Sam Altman 过去两年充满了行动。但这并没有阻止人工智能

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.

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 成立于 2019 年，并于去年公开推出，是 Tools for Humanity 的一个项目，Tools for Humanity 是一家由 Altman 和加州理工学院前深度学习研究员 Alex Blania 创立的初创公司。该公司最初的使命是使用数字识别将自己的加密代币 WLD 作为普遍基本收入的一种形式分发给所有人，这是 Altman 多年来一直感兴趣的概念。

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.

在人工智能无处不在的未来，世界币希望开发有助于区分人类和机器人的工具。 “我们开始考虑如果人工智能真正开始出现，社会将需要的基础设施，”奥特曼在上个月的世界币活动中说道。

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.”

为此，奥特曼和布拉尼亚在活动中宣布，世界币今后将更名为“世界”，因为新名称更好地体现了该项目“加速每个人类”的新使命。

Here's how Worldcoin even works:

世界币的运作方式如下：

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.

为了验证人类身份，World 使用了一种名为“The Orb”的产品。圆形生物识别设备扫描人眼以收集独特的虹膜数据，这些数据将成为个人世界 ID 的一部分。该公司声称，该公司选择虹膜碎片而不是更传统的指纹或面部数据路线，因为虹膜生物识别技术包含更多独特的细节，并且不易受到外部变化的影响。

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 芯片组提供支持，其 AI 性能比之前的版本提高了近五倍。它还正在改善 Orbs 的可访问性，Orbs 将在旗舰店、自助服务亭提供，并且可以由个人通过按需服务订购。

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 还宣布了更新，现在将提供增强的隐私功能和名为 Deep Face 的新功能，该功能将帮助用户在 FaceTime、WhatsApp 和 Zoom 等视频通话中识别 AI 深度假货。与此同时，该项目的 World App 的新版本（存储 World ID）现在将提供一个平台，允许第三方应用程序在该平台内运行。

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.

根据 Altman 和 Blania 的说法，World 的四步路线图已完成一半。完成了 Orb 和区块链网络的开发后，目前正在致力于扩展，并将最终解决人工智能利益重新分配的第四阶段

“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.

奥特曼说：“我们想看看大规模这样做时会发生什么。”尽管该公司多年来一直坚持到 2023 年用户数量达到 10 亿的目标，但目前 World ID 持有者仅有 1500 万。 “我们已经招募了这么多人，这真是太棒了，但还有 99.9% 的人需要离开，”OpenAI 首席执行官说道。
