Character.AI has announced the launch of parental controls aimed at teenage users, alongside a newly developed large language model (LLM) specifically for minors. This initiative follows scrutiny and lawsuits alleging that the platform contributed to self-harm and suicide among young users. The new teen model will impose stricter limits on romantic and sensitive content, while also directing users to mental health resources when necessary.
