OpenAI launches a safer ChatGPT for teens — years after teens started using it
After numerous lawsuits over AI chatbots’ lack of safety measures, leading to teens’ suicides and other mental health concerns, OpenAI on Monday announced the launch of ChatGPT for Teens.
The new product promises to include additional safety measures, as well as the educational crisis of ChatGPT-assisted cheating in schools.
On the educational side, ChatGPT for Teens introduces a new Study Mode feature and other tools designed to encourage teen users to engage their curiosity and work through problems, not just get quick answers.
As OpenAI explains in a blog post, the Study Mode option will give teens guiding questions and step-by-step support to help them understand the material.
Meanwhile, the teen experience will also include homework reminders that appear when a teen appears to be trying to cheat, instead of understanding the material. The AI chatbot will then push the teen to use Study Mode instead.
The app will also support quizzes and learning visualizations, and controls that allow parents or guardians to decide when Study Mode is enabled by default, the company says.
Still, it’s not clear how difficult it will be for teens to escape these new systems if they decide not to cooperate.

The Right Time to Buy SpaceX
“When should I buy SpaceX???”
“Should I buy SpaceX now? It’s down to $108.”
“Should I buy SpaceX now? It’s up to $140.”
“How about now???”
I receive some version of this question almost every day. Surprisingly, my answer really isn’t about SpaceX.
It's about you. More specifically, it's about what game you're playing.

Beyond Marathons and Backflips, China's Robots Face a Commercial Test
China's humanoid robot makers have spent the past two years dazzling investors with machines that can breakdance, throw punches and even set marathon records.
This week in Beijing, they face a tougher test in proving their inventions can work reliably to generate economic value.
More than 300 companies are expected at the World Robot Conference from Wednesday through Sunday, showcasing over 2,000 exhibits and launching more than 150 products, according to Beijing authorities.
The event comes as investor enthusiasm around Chinese humanoids reaches new heights, but the conversation is shifting from viral demonstrations to commercial reality.
Investors and customers are increasingly judging robots not by how spectacularly they move, but by how productively they work, how much human supervision they require and whether they can earn a return on their cost.
