As OpenAI files for IPO, Sam Altman’s eye-scanning company is doing layoffs, report says

Tools for Humanity, the identity verification company associated with Sam Altman, is reportedly preparing to cut staff after struggling to generate revenue. The company is known for its eye-scanning approach to proving human identity.

The reported layoffs highlight the difficulty of turning ambitious identity verification systems into scalable businesses. As AI-driven fraud concerns grow, demand for proof-of-humanity tools may rise, but adoption, privacy concerns, and monetization remain major hurdles.
