OpenAI launches ChatGPT for Teens, promising a more age-appropriate chatbot
- OpenAI is launching ChatGPT for Teens, a version of its chatbot designed for users ages 13 to 17.
- The teen version adds stronger content restrictions, including limits on suicide, self-harm, romantic and sexual chats.
- OpenAI says the product is meant to support homework and studying in a way that helps students learn rather than simply produce answers.
- The company says it uses age-assurance methods to estimate whether a user is under 18 and place them into the teen version if they are identified as a minor.
- Parents or guardians can opt in to linked parental controls, including quiet hours and certain safety notifications.
- OpenAI says the teen chatbot will not suggest it has feelings or consciousness, and it will avoid language that could encourage emotional dependence.
OpenAI is introducing ChatGPT for Teens, a version of its chatbot aimed at users ages 13 to 17. The company says the product is intended for teenagers who already use AI for schoolwork, everyday questions and companionship.
The teen version includes tighter safety limits than the standard product. OpenAI says it will restrict content related to suicide, self-harm and romantic or sexual chats, and it will not present itself as having feelings or consciousness.
OpenAI also says the chatbot is being designed to support studying and homework in a way that encourages learning rather than giving direct answers. The company uses age-assurance methods to estimate whether a user is under 18, and parents or guardians can opt in to additional controls such as quiet hours and safety notifications in limited high-risk situations.
OpenAI推出面向青少年的ChatGPT，强调更适龄的聊天机器人
OpenAI正在推出ChatGPT for Teens，这是专门面向13至17岁用户的聊天机器人版本。公司表示，这一产品是为已经把AI用于作业、日常提问甚至陪伴的青少年设计的。
青少年版相比标准版加入了更严格的安全限制。OpenAI称，它会限制与自杀、自伤以及恋爱或性内容相关的对话，并且不会让机器人表现得像是拥有情感或意识。
OpenAI还表示，这一版本会把学习和作业支持设计成帮助学生自行思考，而不是直接给出答案。公司通过年龄判断机制估算用户是否未满18岁，家长或监护人也可以选择启用额外控制，例如“静默时段”和在有限高风险情况下收到安全通知。
