Open AI is having questions about safety

0:02

when it comes to these chatbots or AI

0:04

apps and teens. There has been various

0:07

reports about people claiming that

0:09

they've led to relationships between AI

0:12

and teens where people become delusional

0:14

over time, but teens have gone on to

0:16

self-harm, that the chatbots have given

0:18

them steps on how to do that or

0:19

encouraged them in certain instances to

0:21

perform acts like that. And so, this is

0:24

a response to that as well as the fear

0:26

about those kind of relationships that

0:28

teens may form with their chatbots,

0:30

whether that's romanticizing them or

0:31

otherwise. It's a way for them to still

0:34

offer the product without having to cut

0:36

an entire population off. And obviously,

0:38

teens are an important cohort when it

0:40

comes to tech companies because you hook

0:42

someone young, they'll stay with you for

0:44

a long period of time.
