OpenAI expands the parental notification function of ChatGPT, and youth violence violations will trigger reminders. OpenAI announced the expansion of the parental notification function of ChatGPT. When teenage users are banned for violating violence threats or online violence policies, parents and guardians of linked accounts will receive reminders. Previously, OpenAI launched a parental control function that supports parents to associate accounts of minor children, set usage restrictions, reduce sensitive content, and send warnings when the risk of self-harm is discovered. After this upgrade, the system will further cover risky behaviors that may harm others. The feature was jointly developed by OpenAI and online violence monitoring agency Moonshot. Moonshot said prompt notification of parents when serious risks arise would help families intervene and take action as early as possible. OpenAI’s strengthening of the security mechanism is also related to the controversy over the risks of AI use. An investigation into the 2025 Canadian shooting found that the suspect had used ChatGPT, and OpenAI subsequently promised to strengthen security measures. In addition, OpenAI has also added a "learning mode" to the parental control page to guide students to think through prompts instead of directly providing answers; for teenagers who use ChatGPT for a long time, the system will also add rest reminders. As AI assistants enter education and other scenarios, the safe use of minors has become a key issue in the industry. OpenAI is improving the safety of AI products through regulatory tools and interaction design. via AI News (author: AI Base)
