Reddit Explores Iris-Scanning Tech to Verify Humanity Online - Unchained

Reddit is in talks to adopt World ID, the digital identity system backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, as part of a broader effort to verify users without compromising anonymity, according to Semafor.

The system, developed by Tools for Humanity, assigns users a World ID after scanning their irises with a biometric device called the Orb. The process creates a unique encrypted identity that proves a user is human without storing personal data.

Reddit’s potential integration would offer users a way to distinguish themselves from AI agents while remaining pseudonymous. “We will do our best to preserve both the humanness and anonymity of Reddit,” CEO Steve Huffman wrote last month.
