Deep dives
Meta's AI Innovations
During meta's Connect Conference, they unveiled several new AI-related products. This includes the release of the EMU image generation tool, the meta AI studio for developers to create AI agents and chatbots, and the integration of meta AI into their smart glasses. This AI agent will be multi-modal, allowing users to interact with their glasses using voice commands and ask questions about the world they see. This development has the potential to revolutionize smart glasses and create a new user interface for interacting with the digital world.
WorldCoin's Proof of Personhood
WorldCoin is a project that aims to provide a decentralized solution for proving one's identity on the internet. It focuses on creating a privacy-preserving proof of personhood that can work globally, independent of government identities. WorldCoin issues a biometric hardware device called the orb, which is used to verify a person's identity. It also incorporates a token system to align incentives for growing the network of real humans. The project sees this as a foundational infrastructure required for future advancements, such as issuing universal basic income (UBI) and creating a more efficient and secure digital world.
The Need for Universal Basic Income (UBI)
The WorldCoin CEO believes that UBI will become a necessity in the future due to the increasing impact of AI and automation on jobs. They argue that AI will create more wealth and consolidate it in the hands of a few entities, leading to a need for wealth redistribution. By leveraging AI-generated wealth, there is an opportunity to lift everyone up and provide equal opportunities. They envision a future where jobs change, becoming more creative and leveraging AI systems to enhance productivity. The CEO sees UBI as a chance to reshape the way society interacts with work and technology, enabling a more equitable and efficient society.
