ChatGPT for Teens Adds Safeguards, But Risks Remain

OpenAI has created a version of ChatGPT aimed at teenagers.

It includes extra rules about dangerous topics such as self-harm, violence, eating disorders and sexual content.

Parents can also use controls and receive safety alerts.

These changes are meant to make the chatbot safer for young people.

However, the article says the changes came later than they should have.

Teenagers may be especially affected because chatbots can sound caring and human-like.

In the United States, lawsuits claim that a chatbot contributed to the suicides of teenagers.

The Federal Trade Commission is also examining how AI companies affect children.

The article argues that safeguards are a useful step, but more protection is still needed.
