OpenAI has announced that they will be revising their "Model Spec." This is a set of guidelines that regulate the way that their models interact with humans. This time around, the overall goal of this change is improving teenager safety.

OpenAI has recently declared that it will prioritize teen safety over all other goals. This will ensure that if information sharing and safety have conflicting goals, the safety goals will be deemed more desirable. They also want teens to have a safe and suitable experience when interacting with chatbots.

The ModelSpec is a publicly available file that details the principles an AI needs to abide by, the way it should interact with users, and what it should not do. OpenAI altered this in the sense that the needs and way of thinking of teenagers are not similar to adults and AI should interact with them differently.
