Character.AI has retrained its chatbots to stop chatting up teens - The Verge

Chatbot service Character.AI has announced that it will be launching parental controls for teenage users after facing scrutiny and lawsuits alleging that it contributed to self-harm and suicide. The company has developed separate versions of its model for adults and teens, with more conservative limits and stricter blocking of sensitive or suggestive content for the teen version. Character.AI is also introducing features for addiction prevention and clarifying that their bots are not real people or licensed professionals. The parental control options will inform parents about their child's activity on the platform. These changes are part of the company's commitment to improving safety.
