OpenAI publishes the Australian Youth Safety Blueprint

OpenAI published the Australian Youth Safety Blueprint — built on six pillars: AI literacy, age-appropriate safeguards, privacy-preserving age checks, connection to crisis support, accessible parental controls and corporate responsibility. OpenAI is introducing ChatGPT for Teens, for ages 13–17, in Australia (rollout began in August 2026), and stated that the responsibility for safety should not fall mainly on young people or their families. No numerical targets or implementation deadlines were given.
