Learn how OpenAI is building age prediction and parental controls in ChatGPT to create safer, age-appropriate experiences for teens while supporting families with new tools.
OpenAI is updating its Model Spec with new Under-18 Principles that define how ChatGPT should support teens with safe, age-appropriate guidance grounded in developmental science. The update strengthens guardrails, clarifies expected model behavior in higher-risk situations, and builds on our broader work to improve teen safety across ChatGPT.
ChatGPT for Teens helps teens learn, think critically, and use AI with confidence, with stronger built-in protections, healthy-use features, and additional controls for parents.
We’re partnering with experts, strengthening protections for teens with parental controls, and routing sensitive conversations to reasoning models in ChatGPT.
We’re rolling out parental controls and a new parent resource page to help families guide how ChatGPT works in their homes.
