OpenAI’s vice president of product policy, Ryan Beiermeister, was terminated after a male colleague accused her of sex discrimination, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Beiermeister denied the allegation and said it was “absolutely false.” The firing followed her criticism of a planned ChatGPT feature called “adult mode,” which would introduce erotic content. OpenAI said her departure was unrelated to the concerns she raised and highlighted her prior contributions. The company’s applications chief, Fidji Simo, confirmed the “adult mode” is slated for a first‑quarter launch. Leer más →

OpenAI announced plans to launch an "adult mode" for ChatGPT in early 2026, aiming to let users discuss mature topics while using AI‑driven age verification. The feature will rely on behavioral analysis rather than traditional "confirm your age" prompts, and its rollout depends on the effectiveness of a new age‑prediction model currently being tested in several countries. OpenAI sees the move as both a compliance step amid growing regulatory focus on online age verification and a potential premium offering for subscribers. Leer más →

OpenAI announced that a new “adult mode” for ChatGPT is slated to launch in the first quarter of 2026. The feature will be enabled only after the company perfects an age‑prediction model designed to identify users under 18 and apply appropriate safeguards. Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s CEO of Applications, said the model is currently being tested in select countries to ensure it correctly distinguishes teens from adults. The move follows a broader industry push toward more robust age‑verification technologies. Leer más →

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a forthcoming version of ChatGPT that will behave more like the earlier GPT‑4o model.

Altman said the changes aim to balance greater flexibility with stronger safeguards after a period of restrictive policies focused on mental‑health concerns. The move reflects OpenAI’s shift toward more personalized AI experiences while maintaining age‑gating tools to address safety and ethical considerations. Leer más →
