ChatGPT’s ‘Trusted Contact’ will alert loved ones of safety concerns

OpenAI is launching an optional safety feature for ChatGPT that allows users to assign an emergency contact. This 'Trusted Contact' will be notified if OpenAI detects potential mental health or safety concerns. The feature aims to provide an additional layer of support. Users can designate friends, family, or caregivers as their Trusted Contact. This feature is designed to help individuals in crisis connect with someone they trust.
