For users under 18, ChatGPT will restrict practical information about weapons and security systems, even without signs of violent intent. For everyone, OpenAI is limiting detailed reconstructions of mass attacks and says ChatGPT may end conversations that show a fixation on violence and temporarily suspend accounts. The company also promises its first Community Safety Report in early 2027, covering the second half of 2026, with updates every six months.

Why it matters Child safety has become a central topic of regulatory pressure on chatbots. A periodic report with data creates a public yardstick to hold OpenAI accountable.
