By Rachel Metz | BloombergOpenAI is launching parental controls for ChatGPT, which it announced following a lawsuit alleging a Rancho Santa Margarita teenager who died by suicide this spring relied on the popular chatbot as a coach. The suit, which followed a string of other reports about heavy chatbot users engaging in harmful behavior, alleges that ChatGPT systematically isolated Raine from family and helped him plan his death. In order to set up the new option, an adult ChatGPT user sends a request by email to their child. If ChatGPT detects a teenager may be in mental distress, a human reviewer will determine whether to send an emergency alert to a parent. OpenAI will not share a teenager’s ChatGPT conversations with their parents, she said.
