OpenAI says ChatGPT will add an opt-in Adult Mode in the first quarter of 2026, CEO Fidji Simo announced during a GPT-5.2 briefing. The mode will permit mature conversations including erotica and less filtered language for verified adults, while minors remain under stricter rules. OpenAI is testing an AI-based age-prediction system and may use third-party government ID checks to prevent underage access.
