""We prioritize safety ahead of privacy and freedom for teens; this is a new and powerful technology, and we believe minors need significant protection," CEO Sam Altman explained in a blog post on Tuesday. ChatGPT will direct under 18 users to the experience specifically created for kids. If the person's age is unclear, the technology will default to the experience for kids. However, OpenAI says it's also developing "a technology to better predict a user's age," too."
"The ChatGPT for users under 18 was designed with some new parental controls, such as "blockout hours" when kids can't talk to ChatGPT. It blocks sexual content, can't flirt, and won't engage in discussions about self-harm. Altman said that OpenAI will flag such messages and contact a user's guardian if suicidal thoughts are mentioned. If they can't be reached, OpenAI will reach out to the authorities "in case of imminent harm," it noted."
OpenAI will release a ChatGPT experience specifically for users under 18 and will route under-18s to that experience while defaulting to it when age is unclear. The company is developing technology to better predict user age and may require ID in some cases or countries. The kids' version includes parental controls such as blockout hours, blocks sexual content, refuses to flirt, and will not engage on self-harm. OpenAI will flag suicidal messages and notify guardians, and may contact authorities if guardians are unreachable and imminent harm is possible. The rollout follows an FTC inquiry into AI impacts on children.
