They will also receive reminders to take breaks if they spend long periods using the chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users aged 13 to 17 who provide their age when creating an account will automatically receive the teen experience. OpenAI may also place users in the teen experience if its systems determine that they are under 18. ChatGPT is not available for children under 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OpenAI said the new measures are not a response to any single incident, but are part of its wider effort to address concerns about how people interact with AI systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is also improving <strong>Study Mode<\/strong> for teenagers. Instead of simply providing direct answers, the feature helps students understand problems through questions and step-by-step guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teenagers and their parents can also set <strong>Study Hours<\/strong> and <strong>Quiet Hours<\/strong> to help manage when ChatGPT is used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI has announced new safety features for users under 18 as part of a safer ChatGPT experience for teenagers.
