OpenAI has reported a new feature called "Trusted Contact" — ChatGPT will notify loved ones about a userʼs suicidal thoughts.
Tech Crunch reports this with reference to the OpenAI press service.
The user will be able to designate a loved one as a trusted person. If they write about self-harm in the chat, ChatGPT will offer to contact the selected contact — the trusted person will receive the same notification.

Notifications will be sent either by email, in-app, or text message. To protect your privacy, they will not include details of your chat conversation.
- OpenAI previously restricted ChatGPTʼs responses to users it considered minors, following a lawsuit from the family of a 16-year-old who committed suicide after months of interacting with the chatbot.
