OpenAI is developing a social network intended to curb bots and fake accounts, focusing on proving users are real people at scale.

Project overview

The initiative is at an early stage and is being built by a small internal team within OpenAI, according to the report about the project.

Identity verification methods

The company is exploring biometric approaches to confirm users’ humanity, including Face ID from Apple and the Orbs technology associated with Worldcoin.

Implementation concept

If implemented, the system would make proof of identity an integrated element of the platform rather than an optional feature for account holders.

Market response

Reports also noted a rise in interest toward the WLD token following the news, reflecting market attention to projects linked with identity verification technologies.

Privacy and adoption questions

The concept raises questions about user privacy and adoption rates, since biometric verification implies new technical and regulatory trade-offs for platforms.

OpenAI has not disclosed a public timeline for release, and the internal team continues to evaluate technical feasibility and user experience implications.
