OpenAI on Tuesday announced new measures aimed at creating a safer experience for teens who use ChatGPT.
The strengthened protections for teens will allow parents to link their ChatGPT account with their teen’s account, control how ChatGPT responds to their teen with age-appropriate model behavior rules and manage which features to disable, including memory and chat history, the company said in a blog post.
"We prioritize safety ahead of privacy and freedom for teens; this is a new and powerful technology, and we believe minors need significant protection," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in an accompanying blog post.
Parents will also receive notifications when the system detects their teen is in a moment of acute distress, a feature that OpenAI says will be guided by expert input.
