OpenAI published its Model Spec, a document outlining the intended values, behaviors, and decision-making principles for its AI models. The spec defines a hierarchy of priorities—safety, ethics, adherence to OpenAI's principles, and helpfulness—and is intended to guide how models should behave across a wide range of situations. This represents OpenAI's formal attempt to codify alignment goals and behavioral norms into a publicly accessible framework.
OpenAI is revising its Model Spec to include new Under-18 Principles that govern how ChatGPT interacts with teenage users. The update introduces stronger guardrails and age-appropriate behavioral guidance grounded in developmental science. This builds on OpenAI's broader ongoing effort to improve safety for minors using ChatGPT.
