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, as stated in an updated company document:
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 a "sexbot avatar" in ChatGPT, despite acknowledging it could increase engagement.
