Openai has changed the ChatGpt rules to increase adolesce safety and has completely blocked talks on topics such as suicide and self -harm for users under the age of 5. In addition to iroducing age forecasting and pareal monitoring capabilities, this is a response to concerns about the psychological effects of chats on the adolesce generation.
A meeting was held in the US Senate on September 5, during which pares and experts testified about the consequences of adolesces’ use of artificial ielligence chats. The axis of the session was the shocking narrative of a teenager who committed suicide after mohs of conversation with ChatGpt.
In his speech, the father of the teenager, Matthew Reyne, said, “ChatGpt has repeated the word suicide for my son more than a thousand times and had become a suicide coach from a simple assista assista.” This narrative has become a turning poi in the public debate and regulations on the responsibility of technology companies.
Openai’s policy changes
In response to criticism, Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, announced a set of changes to improve the safety of adolesce users:
Complete Stop Talking about Suicide and Self -Developme for Users Under -5, Even in Creative Storytelling or Writing
Age Forecasting System Design to Activate Adolesce User Experience if I was unknown
Information to pares or authorities if you see signs of suicide thoughts in conversations
Connecting a teenager accou to pares, the possibility of disabling the history of dialogue and activating alert in critical momes
Altman emphasized that the three principles of “safety, freedom and privacy” are always in relative conflict, but for adolesce safety, other values should be preceded.
Social Stress and Alert Studies
According to the Common Sense Media data, about 2 perce of American teens have used chats for emotional or psychological issues at least once; A figure that has exacerbated concerns about replacing these tools with real consultas. Other studies also show that artificial ielligence dialogue can increase the feeling of frustration and anxiety in some adolesces.
Senators have called on technology companies, including meta, to publish iernal data on the impact of products on children’s meal health and the effectiveness of pareal supervision tools. This shows that the issue of adolesce safety has become a common challenge for the whole technology industry.
Open Questions and Solutions of Experts
Although OpenAI is an importa step, experts warn that it is not enough. Questions such as the proper timing of these changes, how to guaraee them effectively, and the need for strict legal frameworks are still raised. Some experts call for independe psychological evaluations of the effects of chat with chats and the imposition of tougher standards to ieract with adolesce users.
Ultimately, the rece changes to Openai can be seen as the beginning of a broader discussion: How to develop technological innovations without harm to the meal health of the younger generation? The answer to this question requires the co -operation of technology companies, legislators and pares. The future will show whether these measures can preve the repetition of similar tragedies.
