OpenAI bets on families as ChatGPT goes deeper into households
OpenAI is expanding its focus to families, hiring a product manager in San Francisco to develop experiences for parents, caregivers, and older adults, as its user base grows beyond younger users. The company is addressing trust-sensitive experiences and facing legal challenges related to AI's impact on children. Sensor Tower data shows that ChatGPT's user base among older adults has increased, while younger users have decreased, reflecting broader trends in AI adoption. OpenAI is also aligning with efforts to build family-oriented AI products, including safety measures and partnerships to explore AI's role in education and engagement.
