OpenAI is developing an early-stage social network that could use biometric verification such as Apple Face ID or Worldcoin's iris-scanning Orb to ensure users are real, Forbes reported. Built by an internal team of fewer than ten people, the proposed "real humans only" platform would rely on proof-of-personhood systems and prompted Worldcoin's WLD token to surge over 25%, while privacy advocates warned of long-term biometric risks.
Key Points
- 1Proposes using biometric verification (Face ID, Worldcoin Orb) to confirm human users on new OpenAI social network
- 2Addresses bot-driven engagement by creating a 'real humans only' network, countering fake accounts and manipulated interactions
- 3Raises privacy and security concerns due to permanent biometric identifiers; practitioners must weigh risks and compliance
Scoring Rationale
Industry-relevant company initiative reported by Forbes; score limited by early-stage plans and lack of official confirmation.
