1. That's why I was glad to hear, when I asked OpenAI about it today, that the company's first set of products will be aimed at families and older users. (OpenAI's APIs are not supposed to be used in products for users younger than 13.) And the companies will follow all relevant safety and privacy regulations, the company told me.
