OpenAI Eyes Biometric Social App to Combat Bots, Ensure 'Real Humans Only'
- •OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly plans a social media app using biometrics to verify users and eliminate bots.
- •The platform aims for a "real humans only" network, differentiating it from existing social media giants like X, Instagram, and TikTok.
- •Biometric verification methods under consideration include Apple's Face ID or Worldcoin Orb, co-founded by Altman, which scans iris patterns.
- •This approach could guarantee every user is a real person, addressing the widespread bot problem on modern platforms.
- •Despite OpenAI's history of rapid product adoption (ChatGPT, Sora), the social media market is highly competitive with established players like Meta's Threads and Bluesky.
Why It Matters: OpenAI is developing a biometric-based social media app to ensure authentic human interaction by eliminating bots.
