OpenAI Rolls Out Parental Controls After Legal Action

In response to a wrongful death lawsuit alleging ChatGPT contributed to a teenager’s suicide, OpenAI has introduced new safety protocols:

  • Parental Controls: Allowing parents to monitor and manage their child’s interactions with ChatGPT.
  • Advanced Reasoning Models: Redirecting sensitive conversations to more nuanced AI models.
  • Usage Reminders: Prompting users to take breaks after extended sessions.

These updates aim to create a safer and more responsible AI experience for younger users.
