OpenAI's Stance on Mature Content

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has defended the company's decision to allow "mature apps" on its platforms, stating that OpenAI is not the "moral police."

At the annual DevDay event, OpenAI announced that it will permit developers to create content with wide latitude, except for sexual content involving minors, which is prohibited.

To maximize freedom for our users, only sexual content involving minors is considered prohibited.

This move is seen as a reversal of the company's previous stance, as Altman had earlier boasted about not including sexbot avatars in ChatGPT, despite acknowledging it could boost engagement.

Adult-oriented content is a significant online sector, but mainstream tech companies have typically kept it at arm's length.
