OpenAI is reportedly developing a stealth social media platform to compete with X and Meta, sources say.
TECH STARTUPS
OpenAI is reportedly developing a secretive social media platform designed to rival tech giants X (formerly Twitter) and Meta’s Facebook and Instagram. According to a report by The Information, the AI company has been quietly assembling a team to build the platform, which is still in its early stages. The platform is said to be led by Jason Kwon, OpenAI’s chief strategy officer, and is exploring ways to integrate artificial intelligence into social interaction.
Sources familiar with the matter suggest that OpenAI’s aim is to address increasing concerns about misinformation, algorithm bias, and toxic content on existing platforms. The new network may leverage OpenAI’s technologies like ChatGPT to offer a unique user experience and improved moderation.
While OpenAI has not officially commented on the report, the move reflects growing competition in the social media landscape and the potential for AI-driven alternatives to reshape online engagement.
