The British will soon face this orb with a disturbing look. According to CNBC’s information, the “world” of the world of the world, founded by Sam Altman, will soon be exported to the United Kingdom. The product arrives in London on Thursday, June 12 and then should be deployed in several important British cities, namely Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Belfast and Glasgow.
At the moment, the product is not marketed, but the sphere can be used in types of stores or reserved spaces. Volunteers can create their digital passport there on the world network in exchange for a scan of their eye.
A digital passport and a cryptocurrency
This futuristic orb wants it to become a reliable authentication, while IA becomes very efficient to avoid protections or capthas. To do this, the ORB scan the user’s iris and create an associated digital passport (ID), available on a smartphone.
It allows payments or is authentic in certain services and applications such as Reddit or Discord. An effective way to fight against the proliferation of false accounts or “bots.”
Today, more than 12 million people worldwide have a world identification according to World figures. “The world is really a network of real and verified human beings, built to allow an optimistic future in which human beings will continue to be in the center of AI progress,” said their founders, Sam Altman and Alex Blania.
At the same time, the project is part of a large cryptocurrency market. From the moment we scan your iris for the first time, we can benefit from Worldcoin (WLD). Each person with an identity in the world earns a small amount of Worldcoin monthly.
The “orbs” invade the main cities
This deployment in the United Kingdom is added to more than 800 places where you can find a “orb” in the world. In the Financial Times, Adrian Ludwig explains that the British population “is widely online and is already very aware of the impact that AI will have and that has already done so. In the United Kingdom, more than 75 % of citizens say they have been affected by AI almost daily.”
Orb and, in general, the objective of the world of the world has aroused interest or, on the contrary, the concern of certain companies and governments. At the end of April 2025, the firm opened six stores dedicated to the United States.
Since then, several stores and spaces equipped with their orbs throughout the world have been established. On the company’s website, we can see, for example, several spaces mainly in South America and Asia, but also in Austria and the Czech Republic.
However, technology is not unanimous in the European soil since Spain and Portugal have banned the “orb” in their territory. He also experienced some reluctance in Kenya, Indonesia or South Korea. The launch date in France is not planned at the moment, but we have already seen Orbes in Paris.
