OpenAI will alert parents about child distress

theguardian.com

OpenAI will introduce alerts for parents if teenagers show acute distress while using ChatGPT, following a lawsuit. The new protections, rolling out next month, aim to enhance child safety as young people increasingly use AI chatbots for support. Parents can link accounts and set age-appropriate behavior rules. Critics argue these measures are insufficient, with child safety advocates calling for stronger age verification and for AI to be proven safe before market release.
