Overview
- Forbes, echoed by other outlets, reports that OpenAI is prototyping a social platform designed to curb bots by allowing only verified people.
- The effort is described as a sub‑10‑person project considering identity checks such as Apple Face ID or World/Worldcoin’s iris‑scanning Orb.
- Sam Altman’s connection to World is noted through Tools for Humanity, which he founded and chairs, though no tie-up has been announced.
- OpenAI has declined to comment and sources caution the concept and features could change, including potential AI tools for creating images or video.
- Coverage of the plans coincided with a brief surge of roughly 33% in Worldcoin’s WLD token before retracing, highlighting speculative trading.
