The boss of the AI tool ChatGPT has revealed that his eyeball-scanning orbs are coming to the US, as questions still swirl around this dystopian step into the future. Sam Altman announced Wednesday that the identity verification technology will now be available in six cities - Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco. The expansion into the US is all part of Altman's plan to create a new global identity and financial network. Currently, Altman's cryptocurrency company World has rolled out the orb devices in more than 35 cities across over 20 countries worldwide. The main purpose of these eyeball scanners is to verify that each user is a'unique human,' not a bot or duplicate account.
