OpenAI Introduces 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 restrictions on sensitive topics like self-harm, violence, and sexuality, disables some functionalities such as voice mode, and offers Study Mode to encourage learning. Parents can link accounts to monitor high-risk situations and set usage limits. This rollout follows legal challenges alleging harm to minors from previous chatbot interactions.
