WorldCoin's newest pitch: Scan your eyeballs to prove AI agents really represent you (www.theregister.com)

World, known as WorldCoin until late 2024 when AI became trendier than cryptocurrency, announced on Tuesday that it was opening a limited beta of its new AgentKit. The new tech, says World, will serve as a way to tie AI agents directly to a human to prevent bad actors from abusing agentic AI and "infuse trust into the system."

Given this is a World venture, that damn eyeball-scanning-orb is still involved.

How to get scans of people's eyes so they can sell the data and use it to break into biometrics. Seems like a bad idea!
