“You can’t get in here” – Sam Altman’s new social media project locks out AI bots
- World Token made a 27% price jump yesterday. OpenAI boss Altman is said to be planning a social media project that verifies the human identity of its members and automatically locks out bots and AI accounts.
- The report triggered a strong reaction and brought the controversial World ID project back into the public debate.
It is said to be an unofficial project that is being developed by a small team of fewer than ten people. The goal is a social network that only allows people – verified by Apple Face IDWorld Orb or other reliable biometric methods.
AI-generated content should be allowed, but only people with verified identities are allowed to set up an account. The idea behind this is a social media project that is aimed at countering the flood of AI bots and fake identities that are dehumanizing entire networks.
The World Token price reacted promptly. Within a few hours, Worldcoin (WLD) rose by over 27 percent, sales exploded and increased by more than 760 percent. The market capitalization reached $1.42 billion.
Initiator Sam Altman is the founder of World, and OpenAI has the infrastructure to establish such a network globally. The combination of proof of personhood and AI moderation could become a new standard for digital identity.
At the same time, central questions remain unanswered. There is no official confirmation yet OpenAIand the regulatory risks are significant. Biometric data such as iris scans are considered particularly sensitive, and World has been under global scrutiny since its inception.
Several countries have already restricted or frozen Orb operations, including Spain, Portugal and Kenya. Critics warn of a global identity infrastructure that could be abused. Proponents, on the other hand, see this as a realistic approach to preserving the integrity of digital communication.
This results in an asymmetric scenario for the World Token: great advantages through potential integration into an OpenAI network, but equally great risks due to political and social resistance.
The coming weeks will show whether the new approach will develop into a viable, guaranteed humane social media model.
