OpenAI launches ChatGPT for teenagers with safety controls

OpenAI has launched a new version of ChatGPT aimed at teenagers, specifically for users aged 13 to 17. This tool incorporates safety filters and parental controls to create a safer environment for young users.

The experience includes alerts that will be sent to adults who have chosen to activate these controls. Additionally, the version features extra restrictions to protect teenagers from sensitive content.

The rollout of this tool began on August 18 and will be completed globally in the coming weeks, according to reports from various sources.

OpenAI has emphasized that this update aims not only to protect teenage users but also to encourage critical thinking and deepen their understanding of various topics.

Additionally, ChatGPT is expected to roll out ads in some regions, starting in Spain on August 24, although this feature is not directly related to the teenage version.
