OpenAI Launches 'Teen Safety Blueprint' for Indian Teens on ChatGPT

• OpenAI introduces 'Teen Safety Blueprint' in India with age-based safeguards, parental controls, and mental health protections for users under 18 on ChatGPT.
• The framework addresses India's unique demographic, including shared devices and multilingual contexts, which differ from typical safety tool assumptions.
• ChatGPT will differentiate responses for teens, prohibiting graphic content, self-harm depictions, and dangerous stunts, prioritizing safety over privacy for minors.
• Built-in mental health safeguards include in-app reminders, resources for suicidal intent, and detection of AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
• New parental controls allow account linking, privacy management, usage limits, and alerts for self-harm signals, complementing family and school oversight.
