June 2, 2026 Global Affairs Safety Advancing youth safety and opportunity through global leadership OpenAI calls for global action on youth AI safety through a dedicated AI Safety Institute Loading… Share AI can be a powerful tool for young people. It can help students understand a difficult concept, practice a new language, prepare for a job interview, explore creative ideas, or learn a new skill. Just as the literacy movement spread across the globe in the middle of the 20th century required mass distribution of printed text and access to trained teachers, today providing access to safe AI will unlock new opportunities for personalized learning, help reduce barriers for the underserved, and increase workforce readiness. Because the potential benefits are so significant, it is essential that young people can access AI in ways that are safe, age-appropriate, and supportive of healthy development. That responsibility should not fall primarily on parents or young people themselves. Companies, including OpenAI, have a responsibility to build products with appropriate safeguards by default, while empowering families with tools and information to guide how AI is used. When Heads of State gather at the G7 Leaders’ Summit in Évian, France, later this month, the topic of youth AI safety will be a key focus. OpenAI will join to discuss greater collaboration on youth safety, how we can work together to raise industry standards, and OpenAI's new call for an international youth safety institute to be established. The G7 Leaders’ Summit represents a rare opportunity for global coordination on youth safety. But a dedicated institute would provide the continuity and follow-through needed beyond a single summit, helping governments, researchers, civil society, and industry keep working together to share evidence, develop guidance, and raise standards over time. There are several credible ways this could be done: through a new international institute, or by giving an existing or newly established national AI institute a global mandate to share research, evidence, and guidance with partners around the world. What matters most is the function it serves. Youth AI safety needs sustained attention, trusted evidence, and practical guidance that can keep pace with the technology. Such an institute can build on emerging initiatives such as Common Sense Media’s Youth AI Safety Institute, supported by the OpenAI Foundation, as well as practical collaborations with educators, including OpenAI’s work with the American Federation of Teachers . It should also draw on real-world deployments, such as Estonia’s national ChatGPT rollout in schools, where OpenAI is working with Stanford and Estonian researchers to study impact and inform safer, more effective use in learning. OpenAI welcomes the opportunity to work with the French Government, other G7 governments, and partners across civil society, academia, and industry on this vital work and to raise global standards on youth safety. Setting a global standard on youth AI safety We believe strong AI youth safety frameworks, including any potential agreement reached at G7 convenings, should be led by principles that we are setting out here. Companies should know when a user is a minor and apply age-appropriate protections. This means requiring providers to use means such as effective, privacy-preserving age estimation to distinguish minors from adults, and defaulting to protective safeguards when a user’s age cannot be determined. Without this foundation, even the most well-intended youth protections may fail to reach the young people they are intended to protect. Companies should regularly assess both risks and benefits for young people and take steps to address them— before harm occurs. This means requiring providers to complete annual youth safety risk assessments and implement proportionate safeguards based on the risks they identify. Such assessments should consider risks to young people based on the
