OpenAI is hiring a dedicated product manager to build ChatGPT experiences designed for families, caregivers, and older adults, marking a shift from viewing AI as a tool for individual productivity to seeing it as household technology. ChatGPT's user base is aging, with the share of users aged 35 and older rising from 26% to 31% globally in the past year, and nearly one in four U.S. parents now using the app. This expansion into family-focused products raises new safety concerns, particularly regarding younger users, as research shows parents underestimate how often their children use generative AI. OpenAI has already introduced some family-oriented safeguards including parental controls for teen accounts and a feature to alert caregivers in cases of potential self-harm.
