ChatGPT is once again at the center of the debate regarding the use of artificial intelligence by minors. The challenge of balancing digital freedom with the protection of adolescents remains one of the major issues of the technological era. OpenAI, aware of social and media pressure, is beginning to define the actions it will implement to address this issue, as its reputation has been questioned due to the lack of specific controls so far.
Two weeks ago, we reported that ChatGPT would incorporate parental controls, allowing account linking between parents and children, age-based function limitations, alerts for potential emotional crises, and greater control over memory and chat history. That initial proposal set the path; the current updates specify this approach and emphasize that the protection of minors will be a priority in the service.
OpenAI has detailed an age verification system that assigns users under 18 a restricted version of ChatGPT. This environment limits access to sensitive content, especially those related to sexual topics or self-harm, and reinforces the use of models designed to minimize risks. The goal is to provide a useful and safe experience for adolescents, ensuring their digital well-being.
