OpenAI has announced new parental control features for ChatGPT across both web and mobile platforms, responding to rising global concerns about the safety of young users online. The move comes in the aftermath of a lawsuit filed by the parents of a California teenager who tragically died by suicide. The lawsuit alleges that the company’s AI chatbot provided harmful advice and coached the teen on methods of self-harm.
In a statement released on Monday, the company confirmed that these new parental controls are designed to create a safer environment for teenagers who use ChatGPT. “The controls will allow parents and teens to link accounts for stronger safeguards for teenagers,” OpenAI said.
