OpenAI wants teens to actually do their homework
OpenAI just launched ChatGPT for Teens, a dedicated space for users aged 13 to 17 that swaps instant answers for step-by-step Socratic guidance. The update turns on strict default guardrails against self-harm and explicit content, blocks romantic roleplay, and gives parents scheduling controls. Why it matters: OpenAI wants to prove AI can be an active personal tutor rather than a shortcut that dumbs students down.
