OpenAI plans to let adult users access erotica on ChatGPT. CEO Sam Altman said the change will treat adults like adults. Age verification will be required. He added that earlier restrictions were needed to protect mental health, but now the company has new tools to reduce risks. The update is expected in December. The move comes after a US teen’s parents sued OpenAI over his suicide, raising safety concerns. Critics warn it may expose children to adult content. OpenAI says it will fully roll out age-gating to keep minors safe while offering more content to verified adults. (PC: BBC)
