Worldcoin Codebase remains closed, despite promises
Privacy advocates first described the orb as an invader when it used images to train its artificial intelligence to separate the real from the fake. Many entities, including whistleblower Edward Snowden, saw the project in its early stages as the first steps toward a surveillance state.
Worldcoin co-founder Sam Altman said privacy concerns will diminish once Worldcoin opens its code.
However, at the time of this publication, the project github It reveals scant information about the inner workings of the project. Mostly closed codebase repositories contain front-end APIs for developers to integrate World ID.
In addition, it cannot provide a circuit board drawing that connects the main board to the front unit.
A report published in the MIT Technology Review said that Worldcoin contractors exploited people in impoverished areas to train Orb AI. In response to the accusations, Tools for Humanity said its contractors have signed agreements about their responsibilities but are solely responsible for their actions outside of that.
