OpenAI Wants To Create Biometric Social Network To Kill X’s Bot Problem
- On Wednesday, Forbes reported OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hopes to build an invite-only biometric prototype by a small development team to verify users and eliminate AI-generated accounts.
- After years of bot-driven manipulation, platforms have long been plagued by bot accounts, and the problem intensified when Elon Musk renamed Twitter X and sacked about 80% of its moderation and trust-and-safety teams.
- Sources said the team considered requiring proof of personhood via Apple Face ID or a cantaloupe-sized World Orb iris scanner; World ID uses this orb and World raised $135 million last year.
- If launched, the project would compete with X, Instagram, TikTok and Bluesky while pairing biometric verification with AI content tools from ChatGPT and Sora.
- Privacy advocates warn biometric identifiers like iris scans are risky since data are unchangeable, while sources cautioned the rollout has no launch timeline amid spam and misinformation.
