A new version of ChatGPT tailored specifically for teenagers is being launched by OpenAI. Aimed at the first generation raised alongside artificial intelligence, the tool responds to young people already utilizing the technology for academic work, everyday advice, and digital companionship.

Releasing on Tuesday, ChatGPT for Teens is crafted for users aged 13 to 17 and features heightened safety controls from the San Francisco firm.

The service also includes academic features aimed at helping students comprehend their schoolwork rather than simply generating finished essays or answers.
