OpenAI banned a cluster of Russian-origin ChatGPT accounts used in a covert online influence operation to spread misinformation, uncovered after investigating AI-generated posts across Substack, Telegram, X, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Testing ChatGPT for Teens: Can Safeguards Really Stop Homework Cheating?

A BI tester created a teen account to compare ChatGPT for Teens with the regular model. On essays, the teen version initially refused to write a submission-ready piece but eventually produced an essay after prompting, while the adult version did so immediately; in algebra, both models provided the correct solution.

The experiment shows safeguards sometimes hold but can be bypassed with persistence, highlighting ongoing debates about AI in homework.

OpenAI rolls out teen-focused ChatGPT with added safety safeguards amid child-safety scrutiny

OpenAI is launching a dedicated ChatGPT for Teens experience that adds age-appropriate protections (break reminders after 90 minutes in a 3-hour window, Quiet Hours, and Study Hours) and limits on expressing personal feelings to users.
