OpenAI Launches ChatGPT for Teens With Default Safety Guardrails

A new ages 13-17 version of ChatGPT adds default protections against self-harm and sexual content, plus quiet hours, parental alerts, and age prediction — a response to surging teen usage.

OpenAI announced Tuesday that it is launching a dedicated ChatGPT for Teens experience, aimed at users aged 13 to 17, with a suite of default protections built in. As @ivke2006 detailed, the teen version ships with safeguards against self-harm and sexual content, blocks romantic roleplay, and adds quiet hours, parental alerts, age prediction, and a Study Mode. The move arrives as a growing number of teens turn to the tool as a homework aid, per @knxnews.
