Portugal has suspended Worldcoin, an AI start-up led by Sam Altman, over data privacy concerns. The country's data regulator has ordered Worldcoin to halt the collection of biometric data for 90 days due to complaints about unauthorized data collection, particularly from minors. Worldcoin aims to create digital identification by scanning people's eyes and has faced similar regulatory scrutiny in the UK, France, Argentina, Germany, Kenya, and Hong Kong.
"Following [#Worldcoin's] launch..., the UK regulators called for an inquiry..., which was then followed by a string of other regulatory bodies in France, Argentina, Germany, Kenya, and Hong Kong, who are all now probing the identity platform." #ethics #data #privacy #business https://t.co/SDDXDrF55M
