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.
