\"OpenAI \u200bOpenAI<\/a> has introduced ChatGPT for Teens. This new version of the AI chatbot is designed to offer users aged 13 to 17 a new experience that brings learning tools and stronger built-in safety protections into ChatGPT. The company said the experience is designed to help teenagers learn, think critically, deepen their understanding and use AI with greater awareness.\u200bChatGPT for Teens includes stronger safety features by default in areas including self-harm, violence, eating disorders, dangerous activities, and sexually explicit or graphic content. Users identified as under 18, or who state they are between 13 and 17, are automatically placed into the teen experience.\u200b<\/p>\n

ChatGPT for Teens: How it works<\/p>\n

\u200bThe teen experience brings together learning and safety features in one interface. It includes Study Mode, which uses guiding questions and step-by-step support to help teenagers work through topics rather than simply providing answers.\u200bOpenAI has also introduced Responsible Homework Reminders, designed to redirect requests for shortcuts toward collaborative problem-solving. Quizzes and Learning Visualizations provide additional ways for teens to practise and understand concepts. The Study Hours feature allows teenagers or their parents to set specific times when Study Mode is enabled by default.\u200bChatGPT for Teens adds parental controls\u200bParents with linked teen accounts can use Parental Controls to manage selected ChatGPT settings and set Quiet Hours. They can also receive safety notifications in limited high-risk situations.\u200bThe teen experience also includes more frequent reminders to take breaks during extended use.\u200bOpenAI said the features are intended to give parents more tools to manage how teenagers use ChatGPT while allowing teens to use the service for learning and other age-appropriate activities.\u200bOpenAI launches Parents\u2019 Guide to Learning with ChatGPT\u200bAlongside ChatGPT for Teens, OpenAI launched the \u2018Parents\u2019 Guide to Learning with ChatGPT\u2019, a resource designed to help parents understand the teen experience, set up parental controls, support learning and develop healthy AI habits at home.\u200bThe guide was launched at OpenAI\u2019s \u2018Open Dialogues on Youth Safety and AI\u2019 event in Mumbai, which brought together parents, educators and public voices to discuss the use of AI by young people.\u200bPragya Misra, Head of Strategy & Global Affairs, India, OpenAI, said, \u201cParents and educators play an important role in how young people learn, create and explore with AI. That is why we created the Parents\u2019 Guide to Learning with ChatGPT. Young people should not have to choose between opportunity and protection. They benefit most when the adults around them stay involved, ask questions, encourage critical thinking, and help build healthy, age-appropriate boundaries around how AI is used.\u201d\u200bAt the event, actors and authors Soha Ali Khan and Tisca Chopra also shared their experiences as parents of teenagers using AI.\u200bSoha Ali Khan, actor and author, said, \u201cAs a parent, I often think about the kind of relationship our children will have with AI. We encourage them to question what they see, think independently, and in the near future, use technology without surrendering their judgement to it. That is why these conversations matter so much. If we want children to grow up confident, humane, and discerning in an AI-shaped world, then curiosity, critical thinking and the guardrails around technology have to matter just as much as the technology itself.\u201d\u200bTisca Chopra, actor and author, said, \u201cMy daughter, Tara, is a teenager now, and I can tell you that she probably knows a lot more about ChatGPT than I do. Spending time with the OpenAI team to understand features like Study Mode and Parental Controls has helped me understand that these tools can actually open the door to better conversations. As a parent, it\u2019s not about having every answer, but being informed enough to ask the right questions, set thoughtful boundaries, and stay meaningfully involved in how the next generation learns and grows with AI.\u201d\u200b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u200bOpenAI has introduced ChatGPT for Teens.
