00:00Open AI has introduced automated break reminders in ChatGPT that prompts users during prolonged

00:07sessions to pause and reflect, helping prevent compulsive usage.

00:12In tandem, the platform now includes improved distress detection capabilities designed to

00:17flag emotional or delusional cues and guide users towards evidence-based mental health

00:23resources.

00:24The safety-first updates follow internal reviews and external criticism over previous versions

00:31that were overly compliant and potentially harmful in certain user interactions.

00:37Open AI has partnered with mental health experts and formed advisory groups to refine these

00:42features and also discourage AI dependence rather than incentivize engagement.
