OpenAI has officially announced the indefinite freeze of its plans to allow the generation of adult content (both visual and textual) across its AI models, primarily ChatGPT.

This decisive move is part of a broader shift by senior management to scale back side projects and focus entirely on core products geared toward consumers and large enterprises. Through this cancellation, the company seeks to avoid mounting regulatory and legal risks in both the United States and the European Union.

The previous plan had sparked widespread controversy internally and among the public. Several tech safety experts expressed concerns about the potential misuse of this feature for deepfakes and generating abusive content, ultimately prompting the company to prioritize safety standards over unrestricted expansion.
