OpenAI is partnering with the American Psychological Association to promote responsible AI development and use among young people. The collaboration will apply psychological research and clinical expertise to improve safeguards, create developmentally appropriate AI experiences, and understand how young people use AI.
Planned initiatives include resources for parents and caregivers, guidance for clinicians and school psychologists, and discussions with teens, families, educators, and mental health professionals.
The partnership will also examine how AI can support people during distress while reinforcing human relationships and professional care. OpenAI says the work will inform evidence-based approaches to youth safety and well-being.
