OpenAI commits $5M to study how generative AI affects teens

Funding grants for new research into AI and teen development

OpenAI is funding $5 million in independent research on how generative AI affects teens aged 13–17. The program covers emotional development, social relationships, demographic variance, and safety design. Applications are open globally, with priority for countries with high AI adoption. Research involving minors must detail ethics review, consent, privacy, and data security.
