Age Prediction

OpenAI is rolling out an age prediction model to ChatGPT to enhance user safety, especially for minors. The system analyzes account data and behavior to identify users under 18, triggering stricter safety measures and content limitations. This initiative addresses growing regulatory scrutiny and legal challenges, including an FTC investigation and lawsuits concerning AI’s impact on young users. An identity verification service, Persona, allows users to correct misclassifications. This follows recent safety updates, including parental controls and a mental health advisory council, with an initial EU launch planned soon.
