In this day and age of technological development, where AI is taking over every minute detail of the world with each passing minute, it has become more essential than ever to discuss the safe and correct use of the advanced tool. Especially with young minds getting accustomed to the use of AI, it is important to draw boundaries for safeguarding the teens. Soha Ali Khan and Tisca Chopra echoed the very sentiment, saying age-appropriate boundaries are important around AI.
Soha Ali Khan shares why guardrails around technology are essential
“As a parent, I often think about the kind of relationship our children will have with AI. We encourage them to question what they see, think independently, and in the near future, use technology without surrendering their judgement to it,” said Bollywood actress and mother to an eight-year-old, Soha Ali Khan, at the OpenAI event, where ChatGPT for Teens was introduced.“That is why these conversations matter so much. If we want children to grow up confident, humane, and discerning in an AI-shaped world, then curiosity, critical thinking, and the guardrails around technology have to matter just as much as the technology itself,” she highlighted.

Tisca Chopra, actor and author, said, “My daughter, Tara, is a teenager now, and I can tell you that she probably knows a lot more about ChatGPT than I do.”She shared that using new tools empowers her to be a more involved parent. “Spending time with the OpenAI team to understand features like Study Mode and Parental Controls has helped me understand that these tools can actually open the door to better conversations. As a parent, it’s not about having every answer, but being informed enough to ask the right questions, set thoughtful boundaries, and stay meaningfully involved in how the next generation learns and grows with AI,” she concluded.For context, ChatGPT for Teens brings together learning and safety features in one unified experience, supporting active, collaborative learning outside the classroom while enabling more intentional and age-appropriate use of AI. For teens, it includes Study Mode, which uses guiding questions and step-by-step support.
