OpenAI has launched a new age prediction model for ChatGPT to enhance protections for users under 18. The model analyzes account behaviors, such as usage patterns and activity times, to identify minors, automatically limiting their access to sensitive content. Users flagged incorrectly can verify their age via Persona, similar to protocols used by Roblox. This move responds to growing regulatory scrutiny and various wrongful death lawsuits, underscoring the urgent need for child safety in AI platforms.
