Introducing the Teen Safety Blueprint

OpenAI has released a 'Teen Safety Blueprint,' a set of guidelines aimed at developers and companies building AI systems that may be used by minors. According to OpenAI, the blueprint covers age-appropriate design, safety safeguards, and collaborative approaches to protect and empower young users. The document is part of a broader industry effort to address growing concerns about AI's impact on teenagers, including issues like bias, privacy, and mental health. For developers building AI workflows that might interact with teens, this blueprint offers a framework to consider during product design and deployment. It emphasizes transparency, user controls, and ongoing risk assessment. While not legally binding, it signals what regulators and the public may expect from responsible AI services.
