OpenAI adds crisis alert feature to ChatGPT that notifies trusted contact during self-harm risk
OpenAI has launched a voluntary safety feature in ChatGPT that can alert a pre-selected trusted contact if the system detects signs of serious self-harm or crisis. The feature gives users control over who gets notified and when.
WHY IT MATTERS
This is an attempt to balance the AI assistant's role as a conversation partner with real responsibility for user safety. It signals that OpenAI takes mental health seriously, which may influence how other AI companies handle crisis situations.
