Advancing Youth Safety and Opportunity Through Global Leadership
OpenAI, Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026
OpenAI calls for establishing a global AI Safety Institute to protect young people through coordinated international standards and safeguards.
OpenAI is advocating for global action on youth AI safety by proposing a dedicated international AI Safety Institute to be discussed at the G7 Leaders' Summit.
The company outlines nine core principles for youth AI safety, including age verification, regular risk assessments, parental controls, transparent safety policies, and protection of minors' personal information.
OpenAI emphasizes that companies must build safeguards by default while empowering families with tools and information, drawing on emerging initiatives like Common Sense Media's Youth AI Safety Institute and real-world deployments such as Estonia's ChatGPT rollout in schools.
The institute would provide sustained coordination among governments, researchers, civil society, and industry to share evidence, develop guidance, and maintain standards as AI technology evolves.
