Helping developers build safer AI experiences for teens

OpenAI released prompt-based safety policies to help developers build age-appropriate protections for teens.

The policies are designed to work with the open-weight safety model gpt-oss-safeguard and address risks like violence, sexual content, harmful body ideals, dangerous challenges, roleplay, and age-restricted goods.

By turning teen-safety goals into enforceable rules, the release aims to make protections more consistent across AI systems.

It gives developers a more practical way to reduce gaps in moderation and improve overall safety for teen users.
