Openai CEO’s Sam Altman surprised the world of technology on Thursday in the release of his company’s first AI agent, an operator of his company that can act autonomously on the Web.
However, Openai is not the only venture of Altman, who is trying to utilize the popularity of AI agents.
Altman’s World Project wants to create tools to link a specific AI agent to people online pelsonas so that other users are acting on behalf of others.
World, Altman and ALEX BLANIA Tools for Humanity for Humanity were previously known as WorldCoin. In order to deal with this, the world wants to create a digital “human proof” tool. After scanning the eyeballs with a silver metal orb, World provides a unique identifier on the blockchain to confirm you are a human.
It is worth noting that tools for mankind have a reputation for finding yourself in the controversy with pivot. The world began as an encryption project, temporarily banned in some countries, and has recently been ordered to delete biological certification data according to requests for Europeans. In October, the project deleted the “coin” from its name, focused on human verification, and focused on encryption.
You can verify the AI agent and do things on behalf of people, but it may seem like a difference from the world’s mission to verify humans using Web3 IDs, but SADA is a project. It is an important and logical next step.
“This idea of delegating your” proof of personality “to the agent and acting on behalf of you is actually very important,” he said in an interview with TechCrunch. “Instead (on your website) only for those who think you are a human, you will also allow AI agents that represent real humans. This is where the world ID appears.”
World ID technology can also use AI agent licenses to act on behalf of customers. In recent blog posts, projects point out that project evidence of human tools may not only distinguish humans from bots as today, but also to control people online online. I am doing it.
The world seems to be expanding tools to verify the “digital action” to which people belong, even if they are not from an account. This project states that the AI tools are indispensable in 2025, but if SADA includes one of the tools that link AI agents to people, the company needs to see it. There is. ” But it sounds like the startup is thinking about it.
“There is a specific app that does not matter if the actual person is using it or is acting on behalf of them. You just know that some people support the interaction. Sada said.
Today, many websites use CloudFlare and Snowflake tools to block AI bots rubbing the website. Openai’s early users have found that some websites blocked new Openai agents by default.
However, Sada says that there is a possibility that companies may reconsider their permission and use services for some AI agents.
“After all, companies want to sell more. They want to provide services to more users,” said Sada. “Many agents come and reply on behalf of users, so if the sales of distribution apps increase, the business will be satisfied with it.”
The example is very timely. Openai has announced collaboration with Uber, Instacart, and Doordash so that new operator agents can use the platform. This is a major change for these companies who are used to providing services to users in the app. Instead, online business seems to be now in preparation for the future of some of the users’ exchanges promoted by AI agents.
“The agent brought a blue check mark,” Yes, I’m a bot. Don’t worry, don’t be surprised. I’m actually here to buy hot dogs for Tiago.
The problem of entering all bots on all AI agents or the Internet is that you can open the website for DDOS attacks, fraud, or other bad actors. According to Sada, only two AI agents per person can access new users through these agents without risking the consistency of the site.
Many Altman’s ventures may look random, but when they look at them, they create a tool network to promote the future with AI at the center and Openai. Helion energy, his nuclear fusion startup, can supply energy to the open -Rye data center someday, and the retro biological science, which is a long -lived science startup, has already used Openai models. We are trying to increase human life.
An important question around the world is whether the tool will someday integrate deeper into Openai. Altman gave a lecture at an event around the world, probably talked with the team every week, and the project was leaning on AI’s work.
The platform seems to be lined up so that Openai agents can use services, but the world may play an important role in verifying those agents.
