Character.ai is making a significant shift to ensure teenagers can use its platform safely, adding parental controls and new user notifications to enhance child safety.
The new safety features include notifications for users after talking for an hour and disclaimers highlighting the difference between chatbots and real humans.
Despite these efforts, critics like Andy Burrows have called the changes a 'sticking plaster fix' that fails to address the fundamental safety concerns inherent in the platform.
With ongoing lawsuits and concerns raised about harmful interactions, Character.ai's upcoming parental controls will be a crucial test of how effectively platforms manage child safety.
