OpenAI Launches ChatGPT for Teens with Enhanced Safety and Parental Controls
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT for Teens, a version of its chatbot tailored for users aged 13 to 17 with enhanced safety features and parental controls. The platform includes stricter content restrictions on topics like suicide, self-harm, and sexual content, along with study support designed to encourage learning rather than provide direct answers. The teen experience activates automatically based on age verification or usage patterns, offering parents options to monitor and receive alerts in high-risk situations. This launch follows criticism and lawsuits concerning teen safety and aims to promote healthy AI use among adolescents.
