Worldcoin, now rebranded as "World," faces EU demands to delete iris-scanning data by January 19, 2025, due to privacy violations under GDPR. The initiative, aimed at reducing identity fraud through biometric data, has sparked significant regulatory scrutiny and concerns over user consent and data security. Despite the challenges, the company maintains its vision for a digital identity network, while its native token, WLD, has seen a notable increase in value.
Germany's Bavarian Data Protection Authority (BayLDA) has issued an ultimatum to Worldcoin, co-founded by Sam Altman, over non-compliance with GDPR regarding biometric data management. Worldcoin must implement a compliant data deletion procedure within 30 days, allowing users to assert their right to erasure. In response, Worldcoin has appealed the decision, citing its anonymization technologies, while also planning to delete its old system by May 2024, although some illegally collected records remain a concern for regulators.

OpenAI has countered Elon Musk's lawsuit by highlighting his initial support for the company's transition to a for-profit model, which he proposed as early as 2015. Musk's later demands for control over the organization led to his departure from the board in 2018. The legal dispute underscores a broader competition in the AI sector, particularly between OpenAI and Musk's xAI, which aims to challenge OpenAI's advancements.
World, formerly known as Worldcoin, humorously critiqued Spotify's data privacy practices with a spoof of its "Wrapped" reports, promoting its World ID service that ensures user anonymity. Despite the playful jab, World faces scrutiny over its eye-scanning verification technology and regulatory challenges in the EU and the Dominican Republic. The company aims to establish a globally recognized anonymous identity verification service and a basic income for World ID holders, while potential regulatory changes in the U.S. could impact its operations.
OpenAI has launched Sora, an AI video-generation tool that allows users to create high-definition video clips from text prompts or still images. Initially available to U.S. users and most countries, Sora will be included in existing ChatGPT accounts without extra fees. The release follows concerns from artists involved in early testing about the company's support for the arts and the potential for exploitation.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the rapid development of generative AI is slowing, as the "low-hanging fruit" has been picked, making future breakthroughs more challenging. Incremental improvements in current models like ChatGPT and Gemini are expected, but a significant shift in AI's impact on daily life is unlikely by 2025. Meanwhile, industry jobs related to AI are becoming more lucrative, with AI trainers earning over $64,000 and prompt engineers over $110,000 annually.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman advocates for a new economic model to compensate creators whose work contributes to AI training data, similar to NIL deals for athletes. He emphasizes the need for fair compensation structures and micropayments, while addressing ongoing copyright infringement lawsuits against OpenAI. AI startup ProRata is also exploring revenue-sharing models for content creators, aiming to ensure fairness in the evolving landscape of generative AI.
