OpenAI has launched ChatGPT for Teens, a dedicated service for underage users that the company says adds age-appropriate protections and Study Mode. The mode uses guided questions and step-by-step support intended to help users work through assignments, while parents or guardians can control when it launches automatically, according to Tempo.co. The service also supports visualizations and quizzes, and existing family features and parental controls remain available.
