OpenAI says it has improved ChatGPT’s ability to recognize and respond to users expressing thoughts of suicide or self-harm.
In a company blog post, OpenAI said the latest version of ChatGPT was trained with input from mental health experts to better detect warning signs, de-escalate conversations and guide users toward professional help.
The updated ChatGPT model reduced undesired or unsafe responses in self-harm and suicide-related conversations by about 65%, according to OpenAI’s internal figures. In challenging test cases reviewed by independent clinicians, experts found a 52% drop in problematic answers compared with the prior GPT-4o model.

OpenAI said the improvements are part of its long-term goal to ensure ChatGPT responds "safely and empathetically” when users show signs of suicidal ideation or distress.
The company emphasized that such conversations are rare, about 0.15% of users in a given week show explicit indicators of suicidal planning or intent.
The analysis comes months after a study by the American Psychiatric Association found major AI companies should implement “further refinement” to address mental health concerns.
