OpenAI announced this week the launch of a new feature, the age prediction function for ChatGPT, which will be available to users worldwide, aiming to provide a safer and age-appropriate experience for teenagers. This new feature will determine the user's age by analyzing their interaction methods and usage habits, and activate additional security settings when necessary to protect the rights of minor users.
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT will analyze multiple signals related to the user's account, including the topics of conversation and usage time periods, to determine the age. If the system identifies the user as under 18 years old, it will automatically activate additional security measures. These measures include limiting the display of sensitive content and prohibiting certain interactions that may lead to danger or inappropriate behavior. These restrictions will ensure that teenagers have a safer online environment when using ChatGPT.
To confirm the user's age, ChatGPT will also introduce a third-party identity verification service called Persona. Users may need to provide a real-time selfie or a valid government-issued ID during registration or use to verify their age. This measure aims to improve the reliability of user identities and ensure that the system can effectively identify minors.
In addition, to meet relevant regulatory requirements, this age prediction feature will be launched in the European Union region in the coming weeks, marking an important step for OpenAI in protecting young users. This move not only demonstrates the company's commitment to user safety but also highlights its sense of social responsibility in technological applications.
With the launch of this feature, OpenAI hopes to provide a more friendly and safe environment for young users, reduce potential online risks, and promote their healthy growth.
