OpenAI Plans Social Media Platform with Biometric Verification – Worldcoin Price Surges Significantly
The AI company OpenAI is developing a social network with biometric identity verification to solve bot problems – the Worldcoin token benefits with a price jump.
OpenAI is working on its own social network that will be exclusively accessible to humans, according to a Forbes report. A small development team of fewer than ten people is designing a platform where users must verify their identity through biometric "Proof of Personhood" [1].
Verification methods under consideration include Apple's Face ID or the World Orb – an iris-based scanner from the blockchain project World. This is operated by Tools for Humanity, a company co-founded and led by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. World issues so-called World IDs to verified users and had previously incentivized this process with the WLD token [1].
The market reaction was correspondingly significant: The Worldcoin price temporarily jumped by up to 42 percent following the announcement of the plans, but corrected by more than 20 percent the following day. OpenAI declined to comment, and no concrete launch date exists [1].
The initiative highlights the increasing interconnection of artificial intelligence, digital identities, and crypto ecosystems. Analysts predict that AI agents will generate the majority of global internet traffic by 2030 [1].
