Introducing Trusted Contact in ChatGPT
OpenAI Blog
OpenAI added a Trusted Contact feature to ChatGPT that alerts a designated person if the system detects serious self-harm concerns during conversations. Users can set up the feature by adding an emergency contact who receives a notification if harmful content is flagged, with details about where to find support resources. The feature gives users one additional pathway for accessing help while maintaining their conversation privacy.
