nordicinst · x · 2026-08-19
OpenAI announced 'ChatGPT for Teens,' a mode designed to protect younger users by automatically limiting certain conversations. New features include restricting high-risk topics like self-harm, violence, eating disorders, and explicit sexual content; alerting adults who opt into parental controls; and strengthening guardrails against the chatbot simulating personal feelings. Additionally, for homework assistance, the bot will respond with guiding questions instead of direct answers.
