OpenAI says nearly 9 in 10 teens on ChatGPT use it weekly for learning, information, skill-building, or productivity. The new safety push lets parents enable Study Mode by default for linked teen accounts and expands notifications for serious policy violations.
Meta has started showing parents a seven-day topic log for teen conversations with Meta AI across Facebook, Messenger and Instagram. The rollout begins in five countries and pairs topic visibility with planned self-harm alerts and a new expert council.
OpenAI said on March 24, 2026 that it is publishing prompt-based teen-safety policies designed for gpt-oss-safeguard and other reasoning models. The initial release covers six risk areas and was developed with input from Common Sense Media and everyone.ai.
