Sam Altman's World: Launching Digital ID in the UK Amid Budget Strains and Security Concerns
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's digital ID project World is launching in the UK, offering human and AI identity verification. Meanwhile, the UK government focuses on health and defense budgets, squeezing other sectors. The US raises security concerns about China's planned embassy in London, fearing risks to sensitive data.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's innovative eyeball-scanning digital ID project, known as World, is set to launch in the UK. This service aims to revolutionize verification by distinguishing between human and artificial intelligence identities.
Amidst this technological rollout, the UK government is scrutinizing its budget allocations, prioritizing health services and defense. This has resulted in constrained resources for other critical sectors like councils and courts.
In a separate development, US officials have voiced concerns to the UK about potential security risks. These concerns stem from plans to allow China to establish a new embassy in London, which could jeopardize sensitive communications in the financial district.
