**[Forbes: OpenAI Plans to Launch a Real-Person Social Network Using World Iris Scanning or Face ID]** Foresight News reports, citing sources from Forbes, that OpenAI is secretly developing a social network aimed at addressing the bot issues faced by platforms like X. The project is still in its early stages and is being managed by a small team of fewer than 10 people. The team is considering requiring users to provide "proof of personhood" through biometric verification using Apple's Face ID or World (formerly Worldcoin)'s Orb iris scanner to ensure accounts are operated by real people. The timeline for the launch of this social network has not yet been determined, but in the future, users may be able to create video or image content on the platform using AI technology. Sam Altman has previously expressed dissatisfaction with the surge of fake accounts driven by large language models on the X platform and mentioned the "dead internet theory." Currently, World has verified over 17 million users across multiple regions through Orb scanning.
