Summary
OpenAI launched a teen-oriented ChatGPT experience with Study Mode, quizzes, visualisations and parental controls. The company said under-18 users will be placed into the teen experience by default when its age-prediction system identifies them, while parents can set controls and receive alerts for serious safety concerns.
Why it matters
The launch makes age assurance and safety-by-default central to the distribution of a major consumer AI product.
