OpenAI Delays Adult Chat Feature for ChatGPT Due to Age-Prediction Concerns

OpenAI has postponed the launch of a text-only adult chat feature for ChatGPT following concerns about its age-prediction system. According to NS3.AI, the system inaccurately classified teenagers as adults approximately 12% of the time. In January, OpenAI's Expert Council on Well-Being and AI cautioned that the feature might pose risks to vulnerable users. The decision reflects ongoing efforts to ensure user safety and address potential ethical implications in AI deployment.
