OpenAI Introduces New Safety Guidelines for Teen ChatGPT Users

According to TechCrunch AI, OpenAI has updated its guidelines governing how its AI models interact with users under 18 years old. The company has also published new AI literacy resources designed for both teenagers and parents.

The policy updates come as lawmakers are actively considering standards for AI systems that serve minors. According to the report, these changes represent OpenAI’s effort to address safety concerns around young users accessing its ChatGPT platform.

However, TechCrunch AI notes that “questions remain about how well policies translate into practice,” suggesting uncertainty about the effectiveness of implementing these guidelines in real-world usage.

The new educational resources aim to help teens and their parents better understand AI technology and how to use it safely. The specific details of the updated behavioral guidelines for ChatGPT when interacting with users under 18 were not detailed in the source material.

This move reflects growing attention to child safety in AI systems as the technology becomes more widely accessible to younger audiences and regulatory scrutiny increases.
