Recently, OpenAI announced that ChatGPT will guess the age of users in European Union (EU) countries for security purposes. So, what should you know about it?

 

A proactive way to keep the Internet safe

For your information, if ChatGPT senses that a user is under 18, it will activate additional security settings. This allows access to sensitive content and certain types of interactions to be restricted.

Among the content that will be censored are violent content, viral challenges that may encourage risky behaviour, sexually explicit content, content that promotes extreme beauty standards, unhealthy diets or body shaming.

ChatGPT will predict the user's actual age based on the general topics discussed and the time ChatGPT is used. If you are an adult user but are detected as a minor, actual age verification will need to be done through the Persona feature, which requires uploading a government-issued identification card.
