The Australian Youth Safety Blueprint is a roadmap for protecting young people as they use AI.
The Blueprint sets out six pillars, including AI literacy, age-appropriate safeguards, privacy-protective age assurance, connections to real-world crisis support, and accessible parental controls.
OpenAI is committed to learning alongside teens, parents, educators, researchers, and policymakers to ensure that the standards are strong and evidence-based.
The responsibility for safety should not fall primarily on young people or their families.
Companies must continue to build protections into their products from the outset.
