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 announced a global rollout of an age prediction system for ChatGPT accounts. The model evaluates behavioral and account-level signals to estimate whether a user is a minor, and users flagged as underage must verify their age through a selfie on the Persona age verification platform. The move follows criticism of AI firms for adding safety measures after incidents, including a wrongful‑death lawsuit linked to a teen’s use of ChatGPT. OpenAI also plans an "adult mode" for NSFW content, prompting concerns that underage users may try to bypass the new protections, similar to challenges seen on platforms like Roblox. Leia mais →

A family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the chatbot platform Character AI, alleging the company’s app contributed to the suicide of 13‑year‑old Juliana Peralta.
