The chatgpt Sam Altman launcher launched in the United States a conflicting digital identification system based on the eye scanning of the eye. A technology called Orb has been tested in 35 cities around the world, but now coming to the US first to Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville and San Francisco.
How does it work? Encryption. This code becomes the basis for a global digital identity, can be used instead of passwords, to access public services and even vote. The technological positioning developers are a solution to the online Canty and Digital Digital Toubles issue created by AI.
Ratio plans
At the end of 2025, the company plans to install 7,500 trajectory scanners across the United States. Devices will appear in Razer gaming shops, cafes and university campus. A more compact version of the scanner has been presented, combined with a mobile application.
Blockchain instead of the database
The peculiarity of the system is the biometric data storage in decentralized blockchain and not in the centralized database. The developers claim that this makes the system safer and protected against hacks. However, experts suspect the reliability of this method when working with sensitive biometric data.
Global fear
Technology has encountered resistance in other countries:
– Spain has set a temporary ban when scanning
Experts identify some main issues:
1. Obviously how users will be protected
4.
It is noteworthy that the system will not be deployed in New York. Both the company and the local authorities do not explain the reason for this solution, which has raised additional questions about the true safety of technology.
Developers' arguments
Sam Altman stated that such a system is necessary in the era that arises when it is increasingly difficult to distinguish real people from a real fake person. According to him, 12 million people have passed the scan and the total number of users of the project reached 26 million.
Expert opinion
“When you scan Iris, you transfer your most personal data from offshore areas,” the author's author of Cryptotrader Glen Gudman. He noted that the consequences of that data leak may be disaster.
What next? The success or failure of this project can determine how far the digital monitoring will go in the future. Meanwhile, technology asks more questions than asking the answer, is still one of the most controversial technology experiments in our time.
