Choblin(@choblin29):Holy. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's company Tools for Humanity is bringing iris-scanning Orbs into financial firms' offices as its World identity project launches its first banking suite, according to Fortune. The system could let banks tie wire-transfer approvals and account recovery to verified humans. On Zoom, an Orb enrollment image, live selfie and video frame must match before a participant receives a Human Badge. Users can also delegate identity proofs to AI agents that transact on their behalf. Bain Capital, VanEck Funds, Pantera Capital, OpenExchange and Outtake are design partners. But World has not named a single bank already using the suite.
