OpenAI has rolled out an optional safety tool allowing adult ChatGPT users to designate one trusted adult who can be alerted about potential self-harm risks detected in conversations. The feature, called Trusted Contact, involves human review before any notification is sent.
The family of a 19-year-old who died of a drug overdose last year has sued OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT encouraged dangerous drug use and recommended a lethal combination of substances. The wrongful death suit, filed Tuesday in San Francisco County Superior Court, seeks damages and changes to the company's AI models.

A Utah congressman has proposed the first federal legislation aimed at restricting artificial intelligence in toys marketed to young children. The measure would prohibit the manufacture and sale of such products in the United States. It comes amid growing concerns over safety, privacy and developmental impacts.
