The tragic passing of the 16-year-old Adam Raine struck the American Nation, allegedly enabled by a tech that promises a better hope for humanity.
In response to the tragedy, OpenAI has launched a suite of controls to present a better environment for its users. And one of the major ones is the parental controls- this will let parents have more control over their children’s AI usage.
- They will be able to link their accounts to their children’s.
- Set guidelines and behavioral rules, or disable features like chat memory and history.
- Notifications when their teens express “acute distress”.
However, the organization has taken another step forward to ensure that all its users get the help they need and deserve, especially if they are under duress. OpenAI has partnered up with physicians and mental health experts across the world to undertake this task.
The organization has created a council of experts in youth development, mental health, and human-computer interaction.
However, the truth is, AI systems will shape how future generations think. If the tech becomes smarter, faster, and wiser (will it?), many will seek its advice in professional and personal affairs.
The question is: will this help people grow or create an unforeseen web of emotional problems?
