On 18 August OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Teens — a separate experience with built-in protections, features meant to promote healthy use, and extra controls for parents — alongside a partnership with the computing-education organisation CodeAI.
📉 The gap they point at is real enough. Most students already use AI, but only 16% of high school leaders say all of their students are being taught the technical knowledge to understand it. In CodeAI's own survey, 75% of high schoolers said understanding AI will matter more to their future than it does today.
The programme itself: a joint advisory council on child development and learning science, the Hour of AI aimed at millions of students, and a first Builders Challenge where teenagers build with AI and get mentored by OpenAI staff.
🗣 CodeAI's chief executive Karim Meghji put the goal bluntly: "Every student should know how AI actually works and be able to question the technology, catch its mistakes, and know when to stop trusting it."
Teaching a generation when to distrust your own product is an odd marketing strategy. It is also the only honest one 🍎
