Svmuu reports that OpenAI has officially released a global initiative on "Youth AI Safety and Development Opportunities," planning to focus on related topics at the upcoming G7 summit and calling for the establishment of a dedicated international youth AI safety agency to promote cross-border collaboration and long-term governance mechanisms.
OpenAI stated that AI is creating significant opportunities for young people in areas such as education, language learning, skills training, and career preparation. However, it also requires the establishment of a usage framework based on "safety by default and tiered protection," prohibiting targeted advertising and data selling to minors. This includes: identifying minors through privacy-preserving methods and automatically activating safety modes; establishing an annual youth risk assessment mechanism; providing parents with actionable control tools; enhancing transparency and security disclosures; and creating response mechanisms for high-risk scenarios such as self-harm and exploitation.
