"We're pushing out the launch of adult mode so we can focus on work that is a higher priority for more users right now, including gains in intelligence, personality improvements, personalisation, and making the experience more proactive. We still believe in the principle of treating adults like adults, but getting the experience right will take more time."
"Since he announced plans last October to relax restrictions on ChatGPT, Altman has declared a code red to improve the chatbot amid concerted competition from rivals led by Google and Anthropic. In the meantime, OpenAI is rolling out age prediction tools that determine whether a user is under 18."
"Caitlin Kalinowski, the head of hardware within OpenAI's robotics division, said she was concerned about mass surveillance of US citizens and AI-guided machines carrying out autonomous killing. This wasn't an easy call, Kalinowski wrote in a post on X. AI has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight"
OpenAI has postponed its planned adult mode launch for ChatGPT, originally announced by CEO Sam Altman last October with age verification systems. The company now prioritizes improving ChatGPT's core performance, intelligence, personality, and personalization features over introducing adult content. OpenAI is implementing age prediction tools to identify underage users and activate enhanced safety settings that restrict exposure to graphic violence and sexual content. The delay reflects intensified competition from rivals like Google and Anthropic. Additionally, a senior OpenAI hardware manager resigned over concerns regarding the company's Pentagon partnership, citing worries about mass surveillance and autonomous AI weapons systems.
