OpenAI says it has improved ChatGPT’s ability to recognize and respond to users expressing thoughts of suicide or self-harm.
In a company blog post , OpenAI said the latest version of ChatGPT was trained with input from mental health experts to better detect warning signs, de-escalate conversations and guide users toward professional help.
The updated ChatGPT model reduced undesired or unsafe responses in self-harm and suicide-related conversations by about 65%, according to OpenAI’s internal figures. In challenging test cases reviewed by independent clinicians, experts found a 52% drop in problematic answers compared with the prior GPT-4o model.
