- OpenAI said the product is designed to help with homework and studying in a way that guides students toward learning rather than simply producing answers.

- Parents who opt in can use controls such as quiet hours and receive limited safety notifications in high-risk situations.
OpenAI on Tuesday introduced ChatGPT for Teens, a version of its chatbot aimed at 13- to 17-year-olds. The company said the product is intended for teens who are already using AI for schoolwork, daily questions and companionship.
OpenAI said the teen version includes stronger safety controls, with restrictions around suicide, self-harm and romantic or sexual chats. It also limits the chatbot from suggesting it has personal feelings or consciousness, and blocks content that could encourage emotional dependence.
The company said the chatbot is designed to support homework and studying by guiding students toward their own answers. OpenAI also said it uses age-assurance methods to identify users who may be under 18 and place them into the teen experience, while parents who opt in can set quiet hours and receive limited safety alerts in high-risk situations.
OpenAI推出青少年版ChatGPT，称将提供更适龄的聊天机器人
OpenAI周二推出了青少年版ChatGPT，面向13至17岁的用户。公司表示，这款产品针对的是已经将人工智能用于作业、日常提问甚至陪伴的青少年。
OpenAI称，青少年版加入了更强的安全控制，对自杀、自伤以及浪漫或性相关聊天作出限制。该版本还限制聊天机器人暗示自己有个人情感或具备意识，并阻止可能诱发情感依赖的内容。
公司表示，这一版本旨在为作业和学习提供支持，通过引导学生自己得出答案来帮助学习。OpenAI还说，它会通过年龄判断机制识别可能未满18岁的用户并自动转入青少年体验；在家长和青少年都同意开启的情况下，家长还可以设置“静默时段”，并在有限的高风险情况下收到安全提醒。
