Amid Lawsuit Over Teen's Death by Suicide, OpenAI Is Rolling Out 'Parental Controls' for ChatGPT

OpenAI previously announced that it was considering allowing teens to add a trusted emergency contact to their account. But the company did not outline concrete plans to add such a measure in its most recent blog post. "These steps are only the beginning. We will continue learning and strengthening our approach, guided by experts, with the goal of making ChatGPT as helpful as possible," the company said. This announcement comes a week after the parents of teenage boy who died by suicide sued OpenAI, alleging its ChatGPT helped their son Adam "explore suicide methods."
