World argues that facial scans can be faked, documents can be falsified and companies like Altman’s OpenAI are making technology that can mimic a person so well that eyeball scans are the only way to verify humanity.
In a warehouse on Folsom Street in San Francisco on Thursday, Altman and Blania bounded onstage to announce a new version of their eyeball scanning orb, which itself looks like a giant, white, unblinking eyeball. A select crowd of a few hundred broke into extended cheers as the two announced their plans to put the orbs in coffee shops, purpose-built store fronts and even deliver them to people’s doors “like a pizza.”
“The world is going to need a new layer of infrastructure,” Altman said Thursday.
