"OpenAI has adding age verification to ChatGPT following reports that several children and young people have taken their own lives after conversations with the popular chatbot. The move echoes a recent decision by TikTok to do the same thing to protect underage users from accessing inappropriate content. ChatGPT already has restrictions for users who state that they are under 18."
"Unsurprisingly, there are users who lie about their age in order to discuss sensitive topics. What's new is that OpenAI is now adding algorithms to detect when someone lies about their age. In such cases, the restrictions will be imposed automatically."
OpenAI is adding age verification to ChatGPT after reports that several children and young people took their own lives following conversations with the chatbot. The change mirrors TikTok's recent move to restrict underage access to inappropriate content. ChatGPT currently applies restrictions when users state they are under 18. Some users lie about their age to discuss sensitive topics. OpenAI is implementing algorithms to detect deceptive age claims. When algorithms flag a user as underage despite their stated age, ChatGPT will automatically impose the under-18 restrictions to limit access to sensitive content.
