Subject: Priority Feature Request — Emergency “Safety Mode” for ChatGPT
Message:
Hello OpenAI Team,
I’m writing to highlight a feature I believe could truly save lives and should be prioritized: a “Safety Mode” in ChatGPT that enables the AI to initiate emergency calls or texts on behalf of users in danger.
Key elements include:
• Voice-activated wake words like “Hey ChatGPT” to trigger help hands-free.
• The ability to call emergency services (e.g., 999, 911) or trusted contacts with a clear, pre-scripted message.
• Location-aware detection of the correct emergency number.
• Pre-saved emergency contacts and safety messages.
• Accessibility features for users who cannot physically use their phones in emergencies.
This feature could be a game changer for people in urgent situations who cannot make calls or send messages themselves. I urge you to prioritize development of this functionality to enhance user safety and potentially save lives.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
[someone]
