OpenAI has launched a new AI version called 'ChatGPT for Teens' with the aim of helping teenage students use technology safely and develop their thinking skills. With this new change, the company aims to transform AI into a better partner in helping children learn, rather than just a simple system that provides quick answers to questions.
Its main feature is the 'Study Mode' that encourages students to think and find answers on their own. Instead of directly answering the questions asked by children, this feature helps them think through the right path step by step and find the answer. It serves as a guide for students to understand the topics correctly without looking for other easy ways in their studies and homework.
It has ensured strict security measures to protect children under the age of eighteen from bad influences and inappropriate information. It also has great features like Linked Accounts that help parents monitor their children's AI usage, and 'Quiet Hours' that restrict usage during certain times. The company officially shared this information along with new guidelines for parents at a special event held in Mumbai.
