How I built $3B NextGen Identity Startup for AGI Era | World, Alex Blania Today's video features the story of Alex Blania, the CEO of Tools of Humanity, who is leading the Worldcoin project. Recently, the project underwent a rebranding in San Francisco and is now known as World. World is a company building infrastructure for the AGI era, addressing the issues that arise with the proliferation of bots in the AI age. By leveraging blockchain technology and hardware, they aim to prove human identity.
