OpenAI is reportedly working on a new social network that will require biometric verification to tackle the bot problem plaguing existing platforms.
Plans For ‘Real-Humans-Only’ Social App
The platform, still in its early stages of development, is envisioned as a “real-humans-only” space, setting it apart from other social networks. The company is looking to leverage its successful ChatGPT and Sora apps to establish its presence in the market, Forbes reported on Wednesday.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to Benzinga‘s request for comment.
The new social network’s launch timeline is currently unknown, and the platform could undergo significant changes before it is publicly revealed, according to the report.
