The AI business is beginning a global rollout of an age prediction tool to determine whether or not a user is a minor. &ldquo;The model looks at a combination of behavioral and account-level signals, including how long an account has existed, typical times of day when someone is active, usage patterns over time,and a user&rsquo;s stated age,&rdquo; the company&rsquo;s announcement states. If an individual is incorrectly characterized by ChatGPT as underage, they will need to submit a selfie to correct the mistake through the Persona age verification platform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Most AI companies have been willing to push new features first and then attempt to layer on a patchwork of protections and safety guards on top of them after they cause harm. OpenAI was implicated in a wrongful death suit for a teen who allegedly used ChatGPT to plan his suicide, and only in the following months began pondering automatic restrictions on content for underage users and launching a mental health advisory council. In this instance, OpenAI is attempting to prepare for the launch of an &ldquo;adult mode&rdquo; that will allow users to create and consume content that would be dubbed NSFW. Considering how well a similar change has been going over at Roblox, another platform with a shaky history around protecting minors, it seems probable that underage users will find ways to circumvent the existing tools if they want to use ChatGPT as adults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>OpenAI is launching age prediction for ChatGPT accounts<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI is the latest company to hop on the bandwagon of gating access by users&rsquo; age.
