ChatGPT for Teens launches with protections and features ‘to promote healthy use’
OpenAI is launching ChatGPT for Teens. It calls the new effort “an experience designed to help teens learn, think critically, deepen understanding, and use AI with confidence.” ChatGPT for Teens is enabled when OpenAI systems estimate a user is between 13 and 17 or if the user’s age is directly stated.
OpenAI highlights these four features that come together with ChatGPT for Teens:
Additionally, ChatGPT for Teens includes these safeguards and protections:
For teen users, protections are part of the default experience. For users under 18, ChatGPT for Teens applies age-appropriate safeguards designed to reduce exposure to content that may be harmful or developmentally inappropriate, while preserving the ability to learn, create, and explore. […]
This work also builds on the family tools we introduced with parental controls and notifications. Parents with linked teen accounts can set Quiet Hours, manage selected settings, and receive safety notifications in limited high-risk situations. We are adding additional notifications related to eating disorders, while limiting what is shared and focusing on moments when offline support may matter most.
OpenAI also details how ChatGPT works for users under 18, including these healthy use measures:
