OpenAI rolls out parental controls for ChatGPT to protect teen users

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

OpenAI has introduced parental controls for ChatGPT, aiming to provide a safer experience for younger users. The company automatically enrolls users believed to be under 18 into 'ChatGPT for Teens,' which features stricter content controls. However, some experts argue these default settings are insufficient, necessitating parental involvement. Parents can link their accounts to their child's to manage settings such as content sensitivity, data usage for model training, memory recall, and access to features like web browsing and voice mode. AI

IMPACT Provides parents with tools to manage children's interaction with AI, potentially influencing broader adoption and safety standards for AI tools.
