OpenAI will restrict ChatGPT from providing teenagers with details about weapons and security systems
OpenAI will prevent ChatGPT from providing teenagers with details about practical weapons and security systems, even when the question appears harmless. For all users, ChatGPT can automatically end a conversation when it determines that someone appears to be obsessed with violence; repeated occurrences of this may lead OpenAI to temporarily suspend the account, and it is building a reminder to notify parents when a teen account is suspended. All users will also receive fewer details about past mass attacks (including the weapons used and how they were obtained). Because the teen restrictions depend on identifying minors, OpenAI says it has strengthened age prediction, moving users estimated to be under 18 into the teen experience; however, it has not published accuracy data for age estimation or violent obsession detection.

OpenAI will block ChatGPT from giving teens practical weapons and security-system details, even when questions look harmless.
For every user, ChatGPT will be able to end a chat automatically when someone appears to fixate on violence.
Several such endings may lead OpenAI to pause the account temporarily, and it is building alerts telling parents when a teen’s account is paused.
Everyone will also get less detail on past mass attacks, including the weapons used and how attackers obtained them.
Because the teen limits depend on spotting minors, OpenAI says it strengthened the age prediction that moves estimated under-18 users into the teen experience.
However, OpenAI released no figures on how accurately it estimates age or detects violent fixation, leaving false refusals and missed threats unmeasured.
