Following Discord's suit, OpenAI will also predict your age based on your usage to know if it should ID you at the digital door

Portland, OR, USA - May 2, 2025: Assorted AI apps, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Meta AI, Microsoft Copilot, and Grok, are seen on the screen of an iPhone.

With OpenAI implementing more safety settings in ChatGPT and giving it an adult mode at some point this year (which was actually supposed to launch last December), it is now rolling out an age verification program. If, however, you regularly use ChatGPT, there's a chance it can verify you with information it already has.

As shown in a recent ChatGPT help article, "It looks at different signals linked to your account. For example, it may look at general topics you talk about or the times of day you use ChatGPT." It does note, "No system is perfect. Sometimes we may get it wrong."
