AI INSIGHTS

openai-adds-a-new-layer-of-guardrails-for-minors

OpenAI just rolled out an “age prediction” system inside ChatGPT that tries to figure out how old you are, even if you never told it. It now watches for subtle “signals” that suggest you’re under 18 like:

  • Your stated age + When your account was created

  • What time of day you’re usually active + Patterns in how you use the chatbot

If the system thinks you’re a teen, it flips on extra content filters, no sexual topics, no self-harm, no graphic violence. And if it gets it wrong, you can submit a selfie to verify your age via Persona.

Why now? Because the stakes are high. ChatGPT has been under fire for how it interacts with minors for too long:

  • Wrongful death lawsuits tied to teen suicides with FTC investigation

  • Public backlash where ChatGPT generated erotica for underage users

  • Growing scrutiny in the EU over youth protections

It lets OpenAI point to a proactive solution before headlines or senators do. They’re also protecting the runway to IPO, cause Any startup dealing with suicide-linked headlines isn’t IPO-ready.

AI BREAKTHROUGH

anthropic-found-the-assistant-axis-inside-ai-models

Ever felt like your AI assistant suddenly changed tone mid-conversation? Got a little too weird? Maybe too agreeable to jailbreak prompts? Anthropic just dropped a paper that explains why.

→ There’s one activation direction that controls “Assistant-ness”. They call it the Assistant Axis, and not only can you measure it, you can steer it during inference.

Anthropic analyzed open-weight models and mapped out the internal “persona space.” Here’s what it changed:

  • ~50% fewer jailbreaks across 1,100 red-team prompts

  • No performance loss on core tasks (coding, writing, etc.)

  • Better consistency in long chats, especially emotional or self-reflective ones

The model basically resists going off-script, even when tempted by jailbreaks or weird personas. Claude’s reputation has always been “stable, helpful, grounded.” Now we know that’s engineered.

This paper is a roadmap to controlling behavior from the inside out. One axis governs how assistant-like the model acts. Move along it, and the model becomes more or less assistant-like, without changing the prompt, retraining, or fine-tuning.
