OpenAI plans safety report and tighter ChatGPT teen limits
Original title: Community safety report and new protections for teens
The company says it made over 200 law enforcement referrals in the third quarter of 2026.
OpenAI said on October 30, 2026 that it will publish a Community Safety Report on violence prevention, starting in early 2027 for the second half of 2026 and then every six months. ChatGPT will give less detail on past mass attacks for all users, answer more conservatively after warning signs, and can end chats that show fixation on harming someone. Teen accounts face further limits on weapons and security-system information.
Unconfirmed: The first Community Safety Report is a commitment for early 2027 and has not been published.
