Summary
OpenAI is launching ChatGPT for Teens, a version of their AI chatbot designed specifically for users aged 13-17 with stronger safety protections and features to support learning. The tool includes Study Mode (which uses guiding questions to help students work through problems rather than giving quick answers), homework reminders that redirect users toward active learning, and customizable study hours set by teens or parents. OpenAI partnered with CodeAI to help teens understand how AI works and use it responsibly for learning and creative projects.
