OpenAI launches teen-specific ChatGPT with built-in protections and parental controls

OpenAI is releasing a dedicated ChatGPT experience for teenagers, featuring stronger safety guardrails, healthy-use features, and parental oversight tools. The move signals OpenAI's push into the youth education market while proactively addressing regulatory and public pressure around minors and AI. This positions ChatGPT as a mainstream learning tool rather than a general-purpose consumer product for this demographic.
