Chip Capitalism and Ocular Accumulation

Principle Investigator：LEE Wei-I

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence driven by advances in chip technology, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and a leading advocate of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), founded the tech company Tools for Humanity (TFH) in 2019. The company promotes the need to authenticate real human identities in an era when AI blurs the boundaries of digital identity. This led to the launch of a series of global financial network projects under the name “World”, executed by the World Foundation, which was established with the support of TFH.
