ANPD Aims To Clarify Iris Collection And The Future Of Digital Privacy! World Was Paying R$ 340 To People To Scan Their Irises!

The National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) is on alert! Recently, the agency initiated a supervisory process against the company World, founded by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI — the creator of ChatGPT. The reason? The collection of iris data from Brazilians for a controversial project that promises to revolutionize the way we interact online, according to the website correiobraziliense.

What Is World ID?

Last week, World began scanning the irises of those interested in ten locations in the city of São Paulo, offering 25 tokens of Worldcoin — a digital currency that currently equals about R$ 340. This initiative has already been implemented in countries such as United States, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, and Germany. But what is really behind this project? The ANPD went to investigate…

A New Era Of Digital Identification

The main goal of World ID is to distinguish humans from robots created by artificial intelligence (AI). This innovative technology could replace traditional verification systems, such as Captcha, which confirms whether access to a website is made by a real person. Thus, World aims to create a network that promotes authenticity online.

ANPD Demands Explanations

On Tuesday (11/12), the ANPD met with representatives of World to clarify doubts about the project. During the meeting, the agency delivered a document formalizing the request for additional explanations. The supervision aims to ensure that the operation complies with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD).

Commitment To Privacy

World assures that the iris scanning is done with an Orb camera and that a numerical code is created to identify each user, which is eliminated shortly afterward. The company emphasizes that it is committed to operating within the law, respecting regulations that protect personal data.

Opportunities And Challenges

World believes that its project can help create a future where individuals have access to financial systems and opportunities that were previously unreachable. However, innovation brings challenges and questions that need to be addressed. The company is open to dialogue and prioritizes transparency in its operations.

The Future Of Digital Identification

As the iris scanning advances in São Paulo, World presents itself as a pioneer in creating tools that could prepare society for the era of artificial intelligence. What does this mean for the future of privacy and online security? Keep a close eye on this story, as World ID may just be the beginning of a technological revolution that promises to impact our lives in unimaginable ways.

Stay tuned for more updates on the project and the role of ANPD in protecting the data of Brazilians!

The Future Of Digital Identification

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

New microwave that can replace three appliances hits the market: Sharp launches 3-in-1 model that combines air fryer, convection oven, and heating in 0.9 cubic feet for small kitchens

Small on the outside and surprising on the inside, the Emerald prefabricated house draws attention by featuring a full kitchen, luxury bathroom, dishwasher, smart climate control, thermal and acoustic insulation, and mobility for less than 8,000 euros.

End of an era: Volkswagen is set to end production of one of the last heirs of the Gol in Brazil after more than 40 years and over 1.6 million units sold

Canadians are disappearing from the United States: The US feels the absence of Canada financially, while hotels, casinos, and tourist destinations try to attract visitors back with promotions.

It seems like science fiction, but it already exists: a Swedish electric boat uses a car battery, carbon fiber hull, and smart hydrofoils to fly over the water and travel 105 km in almost total silence.

Trump’s visit to China could reveal a future that scares workers: dark factories, robots working non-stop, and industrial jobs disappearing before the eyes of the United States.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Swiss-led researchers warn that tourism on melting glaciers may be destroying exactly the landscapes that visitors want to see before they disappear, and that geotextile covers and helicopter flights only exacerbate the problem instead of solving it.

Dry cleaning is leaving behind the old chemical smell and showing that clean clothes can also use much less water.

Scientists make worrying discovery: New study reveals that airborne microplastics can worsen global warming on a scale comparable to that of 200 coal power plants spread across the planet.
