OpenAI launches ChatGPT version for teenagers with enhanced safety measures

OpenAI, the American developer of ChatGPT, has announced that it is rolling out a version of its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot designed specifically for teenagers. This new version introduces extensive control options for parents, along with additional safety measures.

These measures are intended to promote balanced use of the chatbot and minimize potential risks that have already been raised. The company has faced criticism regarding the potential harmful effects of ChatGPT on young people.

The expansion to a teenager-specific version of ChatGPT arises from growing concerns about the impact of technology on youth, especially following reports of suicides that may be linked to the use of such platforms.

According to various sources, OpenAI aims with this update not only to ensure the safety of teenagers but also to appeal to a broader audience and increase the accessibility of their product.

The launch of this version comes at a time when discussions about the effects of AI technology on the mental health of young people are becoming increasingly relevant.
