According to OpenAI (@OpenAI), the company is introducing an AI-powered age prediction feature on ChatGPT to identify accounts likely belonging to users under 18. This measure enables OpenAI to provide appropriate safeguards and tailored experiences for teens, addressing the growing demand for responsible AI use among younger audiences. Adults who are mistakenly placed in the teen experience can confirm their age through the Settings > Account menu. This development highlights the expanding role of AI in digital safety, compliance with online child protection regulations, and the creation of age-appropriate digital environments (source: OpenAI Twitter, January 20, 2026).
