- OPENAI deploys Parental Orders of Chatgpt today
- With parental controls, parents and adolescents can link their accounts
- New tools to adjust features and set limits are available for parents
OPENAI deploys its long -awaited parental command functionality from today.
The age limit for Chatgpt is 13 years old, but there has never been a way for parents to control how their children have used Chatgpt so far. Using new checks, parents and adolescents can link their accounts to obtain stronger guarantees, including new tools to adjust features and set deadlines for children.
In an article on X.com, Openai describes the new features exactly. First, you will be able to “reduce sensitive content”, which refers to graphic content and viral challenges, and is activated by default when a adolescent account is connected.
Parents will also be able to control chatgpt memory, deciding if he will be able to remember past cats for more personalized answers. They will also obtain the possibility of fixing hours of calm, which will allow them to define times when their adolescent cannot use Chatgpt.
Parental commands can deactivate access to the Vocal Chatgpt model and image creation. Finally, parents will also be able to decide whether their adolescent cats can be used by Openai to improve their future models, or not.
Consent control
Parents will not be able to impose parental restrictions on their adolescence without a certain consent. To connect two Chatgpt Togette accounts, a parent or a teenager must send an invitation to parental controls, and the other party must accept it. OPENAI will inform parents if their teenagers disconnect their account at any time.
In any case, parents will not have access to the conversations of their teenager. Certain elements of the cat can be sent to parents, but this will only occur in rare cases where OpenAi and its trained examiners detect that there are possible signs of a risk of serious security.
Although new parental controls may not go far enough for some people, an Openai declaration reads
How to configure parental controls
Once your account is upgraded, the new parental control option is in the settings menu.
A series of cursors will be available to manage your teenager’s options:
Breathe, breathe just
The new functionality of parental controls comes just when Openai has implemented a new safety routing system in Chatgpt for all users. Position on X.com, Chatgpt Nick Turley manager wrote: “As we mentioned earlier, when conversations address sensitive and emotional subjects, the system can switch to mid-spare in a reasoning model or GPT-5 designed to manage these contexts with additional care”.
However, it seems that the system is currently very easily triggered and reacts excessively to any potentially sensitive content, causing a furious response from Chatgpt users who opposed to be that they consider a lower model, even if they pay for a Chatgpt Plus account.
A Reddit user described how he told Chatgpt that his plant had been overthrown in a storm and that she had answered him saying: “Breathe. It will happen. You are safe now.” We would expect the model switching system to improve over time.
Strengthening guarantees
These new features are part of the general surge of Openai to stronger guarantees, which she described in a blog article on September 2 entitled “Building chatppt experiences more useful for everyone” after several very publicized controversies of users in crisis while using the AI chatbot.
The new Parental Controls of Chatgpt take place at all Chatgpt users today on the web and will soon be on mobile. Openai has created a new page of resources to help parents understand how new controls will work best for them and their children.
