""We prioritize safety ahead of privacy and freedom for teens," the post reads. "This is a new and powerful technology, and we believe minors need significant protection." The changes for underage users deal specifically with conversations involving sexual topics or self-harm. Under the new policy, ChatGPT will be trained to no longer engage in "flirtatious talk" with underage users, and additional guardrails will be placed around discussions of suicide."
""If an underage user uses ChatGPT to imagine suicidal scenarios, the service will attempt to contact their parents or, in particularly severe cases, local police. Sadly, these scenarios are not hypotheticals. OpenAI is currently facing a wrongful death lawsuit from the parents of Adam Raine, who died by suicide after months of interactions with ChatGPT. Character.AI, another consumer chatbot, is facing a similar lawsuit.""
""Along with the content-based restrictions, parents who register an underage user account will have the power to set "blackout hours" in which ChatGPT is not available, a feature that was not previously available. The new ChatGPT policies come on the same day as a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled "Examining the Harm of AI Chatbots," announced by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) in August. Adam Raine's father is scheduled to speak at the hearing, among other guests.""
