OpenAI earmarks $5M for teen AI research

OpenAI opened a $5 million grant program for independent research into how generative AI affects 13-to-17-year-olds, with individual awards up to $1 million, according to the program details. Applications close October 6 and decisions are due November 13; builders shipping AI to minors should file this as an evidence deadline, not a safety result, using the archive’s clinical-AI evidence gate as the comparable standard for claims that outrun deployment data.
