Sam Altman-backed startup makes optical scanner to detect humans from AI

Have you ever wanted a mobile device designed solely to scan your eyeballs? No, that sounds a little creepy? Tools for Humanity, a start-up backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, debuted the Orb Mini this week, a smartphone-sized device with two massive eye sensors on it. The hardware is part of the World project and app, a grand plan aimed at creating a global identification system. The idea is that these sensors, paired with a blockchain registry, could serve as a tool for verifying someone's humanity.
