Introducing the Teen Safety Blueprint

We are introducing the Teen Safety Blueprint⁠(opens in a new window), a roadmap for building AI tools responsibly and a practical starting point for policymakers who are working to set standards for teen use of AI. Young people deserve technology that expands opportunity and protects their well-being. The Blueprint helps define how AI should work for teens, including age-appropriate design, meaningful product safeguards, and ongoing research and evaluation. The decisions made today will shape how teens use and are protected by this technology for years to come.

We aren’t waiting for regulation to catch up, we're putting this framework into action across our products. We’re anticipating risks and proactively strengthening protections for young people. In recent months we have strengthened safeguards for younger users, launched parental controls⁠ with proactive notifications, and we’re building toward an age-prediction system⁠ to understand if someone is under 18 so that their ChatGPT experience can be tailored appropriately.

This is ongoing work, and there is more to do. We are committed to building AI responsibly and improving continuously as we learn alongside parents, experts, and teens. We welcome collaboration from others working toward the same goal.
