In a notable meeting in San Francisco, OpenAI founder Sam Altman and Argentinian President Javier Milei discussed potential investments by Worldcoin in Argentina.
This meeting marks a significant step for Worldcoin’s efforts to engage with global leaders.
Sam Altman and Alex Blania, co-founders of Tools for Humanity and principal proponents of the Worldcoin project, led the discussions.
Tools for Humanity is the primary developer behind Worldcoin, a project aiming to create proof-of-humanity tools through the distribution of its WLD token.
According to a statement from Tools for Humanity, the meeting covered advancements in artificial intelligence, preparing humanity for AI, and potential investments in Argentina.
This conversation is part of Worldcoin’s broader strategy to foster international cooperation and explore new markets.
Worldcoin, which distributes its WLD tokens to individuals who verify their identity through an eye scan, has faced scrutiny over privacy concerns.
Despite this, the project has been proactive in improving its image and addressing data protection issues.
Altman and Blania’s meeting with President Milei follows recent engagements with government leaders in Malaysia, indicating a global push to secure support and trust.
President Milei, who was elected at the end of last year and is perceived as pro-Bitcoin, initially raised hopes for increased cryptocurrency adoption in Argentina.
However, regulatory measures introduced in April have created uncertainty about his administration’s commitment to advancing crypto.
Worldcoin’s focus on proof-of-humanity tools comes amid growing concerns that the internet will become increasingly populated by AI agents.
The project aims to address these concerns by ensuring that digital interactions remain authentically human.
