ChatGPT now lets you name someone to check in if things get dark

OpenAI is adding Trusted Contact to ChatGPT, an optional safety setting for adult users.

If ChatGPT flags a serious self-harm risk, human reviewers confirm it before an alert is sent.

A designated trusted person is notified, but no chat transcripts are shared.

OpenAI says the feature was developed with mental health experts to improve crisis response.
