Following teen suicide, OpenAI explores automatic underage user restrictions

OpenAI said a new teen ChatGPT experience would come with age-appropriate policies, including a block of graphic sexual content.

In the immediate aftermath of the suicide, OpenAI promised to release controls designed to give parents and guardians more say over their teen's usage of ChatGPT. On Tuesday, the company reiterated that those controls would arrive before the end of the month, and said they would include an additional feature that would give parents the ability to set hours where their child could not use ChatGPT. "We prioritize safety ahead of privacy and freedom for teens; this is a new and powerful technology, and we believe minors need significant protection," Altman said.
