Phone a friend

Written By Ed Pike

Open AI are starting to roll out Trusted Contact.

Designed as ​​an optional safety feature in ChatGPT that allows you to nominate someone you trust, such as a friend, family member, or caregiver, who may be notified if ChatGPT suspects that you may be on the verge of self-harm.

Trusted Contact is designed to offer another layer of support alongside the localized helplines⁠ already available in ChatGPT and connect their users to a person they trust when they are in crisis.

The process isn't fully automated. A "small team of specially trained people" will review the situation, and if they determine that there is a serious risk of self-harm,ChatGPT will send the user's contact an email, a text message or in-app notification.
