The World token (WLD) surged over 18% to approximately $0.65, driven by speculation that OpenAI may integrate iris scanning technology for user verification. This potential move aims to combat the proliferation of online bots by ensuring "proof of personhood" through biometric means. The integration could enhance OpenAI's social networking application, providing a secure, bot-free environment. OpenAI's rumored adoption of World's iris scanning technology aligns with its need to address the challenges posed by AI-generated fake accounts. The collaboration could also open new revenue streams for OpenAI, such as verification fees, while leveraging World's blockchain infrastructure. Despite privacy concerns, this partnership could position World as a key player in AI infrastructure, although regulatory scrutiny remains a potential hurdle.
