OpenAI says it is introducing parental controls to ChatGPT that will help improve the safety of teenagers using its AI chatbot. The new protections are designed to help ChatGPT identify when a teenager chatting with it might be thinking about harming themselves or otherwise be in distress. OpenAI is adding the features after facing criticism and a high-profile lawsuit alleging its chatbot contributed to a teenager's death.
