OpenAI dropped new safety plans for ChatGPT yesterday, aiming to keep kids safer online. By the end of the month, parents will get new tools to control how the AI chats with their kids, and by year’s end, ChatGPT might start guessing users’ ages to block mature content for minors.
If it’s not sure someone’s over 18, it’ll switch to a kid-friendly mode, and in some places, users might need to show ID to prove their age.
Parents can soon link accounts via email to set rules, like turning off chat history or setting usage hours, and get alerts if their kid seems in serious trouble, with options to loop in police if needed.
OpenAI’s also working on a GPT-5 update to spot risky chats and connect users to help lines or trusted contacts, tackling past criticism over self-harm and mental health risks.
The timing’s no accident—OpenAI announced this just before a Senate hearing on AI chatbot dangers. With millions using ChatGPT daily, the company’s trying to stay ahead of lawsuits and regulators while keeping things safe for younger users.
