Teens, the first generation growing up with AI, are already using tools like ChatGPT for learning and productivity. OpenAI believes access is crucial, comparing it to internet access for previous generations, but emphasizes that access must be paired with teen-specific protections.

To this end, OpenAI has implemented age prediction to offer a more age-appropriate experience for users under 18, with stronger safeguards against harmful content. They've also introduced features like 'Study Mode' in collaboration with educators to encourage deeper learning and critical thinking, and expanded interactive learning experiences in math and science. Parental controls have been enhanced, allowing parents to manage settings and receive notifications in high-risk situations.

OpenAI is working with external experts, organizations, and regulators to ensure teen safety. They've joined the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) and are committed to continuous improvement, focusing on strengthening protections, expanding parental tools, and advancing research on healthy AI use to ensure teens can benefit from AI safely and responsibly.
