ChatGPT adds short-lived safety context across sensitive conversations
OpenAI deployed narrowly scoped safety summaries that preserve earlier risk-relevant context for a limited period across conversations involving acute suicide, self-harm or harm-to-others risk. OpenAI reported large gains on internal staged evaluations while saying ordinary-chat preference remained broadly unchanged.
Why it matters: Some harms only become visible across turns, so safety systems are beginning to maintain purpose-limited context that is distinct from normal personalization.
