OpenAI is enhancing safety features for teen ChatGPT users by notifying parents if their child's account is deactivated due to policy violations, particularly those related to violent threats or acts. This new measure, developed in collaboration with online safety firm Moonshot, aims to provide families with early intervention opportunities. The update follows a previous incident where OpenAI's failure to notify authorities about a banned user's account, who was later linked to a mass shooting, drew criticism and prompted apologies from CEO Sam Altman.
