Openai prepares serious changes in the work of TATGPT – the company will introduce the age test. The new rules will affect all users, but first of all, the purpose of protecting teenagers. The reason is that chatgting is increasingly used for frank conversations on personal topics, including mental health.
The company is like a tragic case: in the spring, a teenager discussed the topic of suicide with a chatbot for a few hours, and then I committed suicide. The family sued, and Openai decided to strengthen security measures.
Another episode was also called back to Greenwich: Chatgpt agitated an American 56 -year -old with a suppressed man kill motherThen he committed suicide.
After that, Openai said that they will direct the user dialog boxes sensitive to users to more thought models like GPT-5 and next month They will start controlling parents
How will it work
ABOVE from Sam Altman, CEO Openai, the company introduced a age prediction system. The algorithm will analyze the way a TATGPT user and try to determine whether he is a teenager or an adult. If there is still doubt, users will automatically specify the teen regime. In some countries and situations, age confirmation may be required with the help of a document.
For teenagers, harsh limitations will be applied. For example, chatgpt will stop responding to flirting even on demand, and a discussion about suicide will become completely banned. In case of suicide thought, the company has the right to contact parents or even with the government, if parents are not available.
What does it mean to adults
Adult users may have to reach an agreement with the fact that their freedom will be partially limited – for example, you will have to confirm your age. Altman called this a reasonable price for the Viking for the safety of teenagers.
Why is it important
Chatgpt and other conversations are becoming more and more dialogue for serious conversations, from health questions and support rights to support in difficult situations. But, as researchers from Stanford noted, those who help who have not dealt with a psychological therapist: they can underestimate the mental state or give unmistakable advice.
