OpenAI has added an age‑prediction system to ChatGPT that evaluates behavioral and account signals to identify users likely under the age of 18. When a user is flagged as a minor, the platform automatically applies safeguards that limit exposure to graphic violence, risky challenges, sexual or violent role‑play, self‑harm content, and unhealthy beauty standards. Adults mistakenly placed in the minor experience can regain full access by confirming their age with a selfie. The feature is being rolled out worldwide, with a delayed launch in the European Union to meet regional requirements. Leia mais →

OpenAI introduced GPT-5.2, a new family of models—including Instant, Thinking, and Pro—designed for everyday professional tasks. The series promises better performance in spreadsheet creation, presentation building, code writing, image perception, long‑context understanding, tool use, and multi‑step projects. Early testers such as Notion, Box, Shopify, Harvey, Zoom, and Databricks have already evaluated the models. OpenAI highlighted reduced hallucinations in the Thinking variant and sharper, more explanatory outputs from a senior immunology researcher using the Pro model. The rollout begins with paid ChatGPT plans, while the company pursues a major Disney licensing deal and prepares additional safeguards for minors. Leia mais →

OpenAI announced that a new “adult mode” for ChatGPT is slated to launch in the first quarter of 2026.

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. Leia mais →
