OPENAI

ChatGPT Learns to Sense When You're Not Okay

OpenAI is rolling out updates to help ChatGPT detect signs of mental or emotional distress. The assistant will now offer gentle nudges during long sessions, avoid giving direct answers to high-stakes personal questions, and guide users through tough decisions with thoughtful prompts. Backed by input from 90+ physicians and HCI experts, ChatGPT is being trained to respond with grounded honesty and point users to evidence-based resources when needed.

Why It Matters

As AI becomes more personal and emotionally responsive, OpenAI is prioritizing user well-being ahead of GPT-5’s release. These changes mark a shift toward responsible AI design especially for vulnerable users ensuring that ChatGPT supports, rather than replaces, human judgment in moments that matter most.
