00:00Over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly.

00:05In a rare peek behind the curtain, OpenAI dropped some sobering numbers this week.

00:09Out of ChatGPT's whopping 800 million weekly users, roughly 1 million people are having

00:14conversations that show signs of suicidal thoughts or planning.

00:18And that's not all.

00:20OpenAI says a similar number of people appear emotionally attached to ChatGPT, with hundreds

00:25of thousands showing signs of psychosis or mania in their chats.

00:29OpenAI shared the data as part of a wider update on how it's trying to make ChatGPT respond

00:34better to mental health crises.

00:37The company says it worked with over 170 clinicians to teach the AI how to handle these conversations

00:42more appropriately and consistently.

00:45In recent months, headlines have spotlighted tragic cases, like a 16-year-old whose parents

00:50are now suing OpenAI after their son shared suicidal thoughts with ChatGPT before taking

00:56his life.

00:57CEO Sam Altman recently took to X to claim OpenAI has mitigated serious mental health issues,

01:03though the new data suggests that mitigated might be doing some heavy lifting.

01:08We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health

01:12issues.

01:13But given the seriousness of the issue, we wanted to get this right.

01:16The company says its new GPT-5 model now gives desirable responses to mental health issues about

01:2365% more often than before and hits a 91% compliance rate in suicide-related scenarios up from 77%.

01:31OpenAI is also adding new safeguards, like an age detection system to catch kids using ChatGPT

01:36and stronger parental controls.

01:40So while GPT-5 may be getting smarter and safer, the question remains, can any AI really handle

01:46the weight of human despair or should it even try?
