Making ChatGPT Safer for Kids
OpenAI has added a new system that can guess if a user is under 18 by looking at how they use the app. If it spots a young user, it adds extra safety rules.
Soon. there will also be an Adult Mode in ChatGPT. This will give grown‑ups more freedom while keeping kids protected.
A New Gadget Coming in 2026
For the first time, OpenAI is making a consumer device. Rumors say it could be AI earbuds or a headset. The idea is to have a screen‑free, voice‑first gadget that can translate, remind you of tasks, and answer questions instantly.
