More trouble for Worldcoin (WLD), the crypto project of the co-founder and CEO of OpenAI (ChatGPT), Sam Altman.
In fact, Argentina has been added to the list of states concerned about the Worldcoin project’s collection of personal data.
The collection of personal data
The Worldcoin project aims to give everyone a digital identity.
However, whereas the classical identity is assigned by states, Worldcoin’s digital identity is assigned by a private organization.
In order to assign people a digital identity, Worldcoin collects personal data, particularly iris scans. This creates concerns, because it is not known whether such personal data will be kept securely, and especially because there are fears that Worldcoin may end up monetizing it by selling it.
Indeed, as Reuters recently reported, the general manager for Europe at Tools For Humanity, or the company behind the project, admitted that Worldcoin could make the data it is collecting available to companies and governments.
