The news of October 15thOpenAI CEO SAM ALTMANNSam AltmanIt was announced that, in accordance with the principle of “adult treatment”, the company plans to introduce the age validation function in December, which will open the “adult topic” to adult users who pass the test。
He stated that OpenAI had previously “restricted quite severely ChatGPT to ensure caution on mental health issues”, but the company later found that these restrictions had made the chat robot “not practical or interesting to users without mental health problems”。
To this end, OpenAI has introduced new tools for “better detection of psychological distress among users”. “We are now able to mitigate serious mental health risks and have new coping tools, so in most cases we will be able to ease these restrictions safely.”
“As we move forward with the introduction of age-testing mechanisms and with the principle of `the treatment of adults as adults', we will allow for more, for example, the sexual dialogue function for certified adults.”
He also mentioned that OpenAI was going to publish a new ChatGPT version in a few weeks, making it "close to the user's favorite 4o model performance." 1AI follow-up will remain focused。
