The tools, pushed out to all users Monday, let parents limit the ways teenagers use the chatbot and receive alerts if ChatGPT determines a teenager may be in distress.

The controls, which are accessible through ChatGPT’s settings, also enable parents to set the hours when their child can’t use the service (the chatbot is meant for users who are 13 or older).

The update comes in the wake of mounting pressure for the artificial intelligence startup to make changes to its chatbot, which has amassed over 700 million users since its launch in late 2022.
