As social media platforms prepare to potentially ban minors, they have been grappling with increasing skepticism from users who are tired of the growing spread of AI-generated content. The line between human and machine interactions is becoming increasingly blurred, with the rise of chatbots, fake profiles, and artificial interactions.

OpenAI has recently introduced a social network called Sora 2, heavily integrated with AI technology. In response to the digital discomfort this may cause, the company is considering a radically different approach.
A “Humans-Only” Social Network Still in Conceptual Phase
According to Forbes, OpenAI is in the early stages of developing a social network that would strictly exclude robots. The project is currently being handled by a small team of fewer than ten people. The goal is to establish a platform where each account is linked to a real person rather than an automated agent or a bot farm.
To achieve this, OpenAI is exploring various identity verification methods, including the use of Apple’s Face ID or a more controversial tool known as the Orb. Developed by Tools for Humanity, a company co-founded by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the Orb uses iris recognition to create a unique digital identifier based on biometric data.
The Legacy of Worldcoin and Privacy Concerns
This isn’t Sam Altman’s first attempt to tackle the issue of bots using biometrics. His previous initiative, Worldcoin, has evolved into an app called World, which aims to establish a universal digital identity exclusive to humans. To date, approximately 17 million people have been verified using the Orb, although this number is still far from the initial project goals.
However, the technology raises several concerns as iris scans involve data that cannot be altered in the event of a breach or compromise. Several countries have temporarily banned or investigated these practices, citing risks to privacy and data security. Implementing such a technology in a mainstream social network could significantly hinder its public acceptance.
An Already Crowded Market Dominated by Giants
Should OpenAI decide to proceed with this project, it would be entering a highly competitive field. However, the company might hope to leverage its reputation and the promise of a more authentic environment.
Ironically, Sam Altman has repeatedly expressed his frustration with what he describes as an “increasingly artificial internet,” even discussing the theory of the “death” of the internet, where a significant portion of online interactions are now non-human.
