ChatGPT-maker OpenAI on Tuesday announced that it’s creating a new portal for teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 as it looks to address concerns about online safety for young people.

The company made the announcement exclusively on-air with Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday morning and outlined how the platform looks to address the potential for the misuse of the platform by children.

The ChatGPT for Teens portal will serve as the default experience on the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot for users between the ages of 13 and 17 and will come with new safeguards aimed at fostering the safe use of the platform and supporting teens’ critical thinking skills.

OpenAI said that most teen users of ChatGPT use it for homework and help with their studies, so the new platform is intended to allow for study aides without giving the answers away and was designed with Stanford University.

It will feature quizzes and responsible-homework reminders that redirect teens toward collaborative problem-solving, as well as a Study Hours feature that allows teens or parents to set Study Mode as a default during certain time periods.

The new platform includes stronger default safeguards addressing self-harm, violence, eating disorders, dangerous activities and explicit sexual or graphic content through age-appropriate interventions.

There will be teen-specific onboarding to the platform with warnings that discourage users from uploading private or sensitive images.

It also looks to address parental concerns about teens forming an emotional dependency or relationship with new safeguards barring the use of language that could suggest romantic feelings, as well as claims of sentience of personal feelings by ChatGPT.

The platform will also restrict the chatbot from framing ChatGPT as being more important than family, friends, educators, mentors or other trusted people in the life of the tool’s teenage user.

The platform is also set to include default settings that provide more guardrails against the overuse of the program and healthier usage patterns.

It will have default settings that encourage users to take breaks more frequently, along with reminders about the platform’s settings for Study Hours and Quiet Hours.

Additionally, the new platform will provide the user with cues to reinforce that ChatGPT is a tool and not a person or a replacement for human relationships.

Mark Walter, who already sold his majority stake in the Los Angeles Lakers just one year after purchasing the NBA team, might be selling off yet another sports asset. 

Walter and business partner Todd Boehly are reportedly looking to sell their stakes in Chelsea Football Club of the English Premier League, according to the Financial Times.

Walter and Boehly are hoping to sell their stakes to Clearlake Capital, the majority owner of one of the most popular soccer teams in the entire world.

Clearlake Capital reportedly has had some friction with the two minority stakeholders after they purchased a piece of the club four years ago. The outlet reported there have been negotiation talks for years between both sides, but no deal was made. 

Walter and Boehly bought stakes in Chelsea in May 2022, as BlueCo, a consortium run by Boehly, and Clearlake Capital bought the club from Roman Abramovich. 

BUSS FAMILY AGREES TO SELL REMAINING LAKERS OWNERSHIP STAKE TO JOSH KUSHNER, BOB IGER GROUP

The news is quite interesting, though, as Walter agreed to sell the Lakers to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record $12.5 billion after just purchasing the ownership stake from the Buss family for $10 billion last year. 

In June 2025, the Buss family decided to sell the Lakers to Walter for $10 billion. There was, however, some in the Buss family who felt misled by Jeanie Buss in what they characterized as a rushed sale, per ESPN. They felt pressured to vote for the sale to go through.

In the end, all six siblings said “yes” to the sale, which closed in October 2025. The sale gave each sibling $500 million post-tax. After the sale to Walter, Buss was allowed to remain the governor of the Lakers given the 17.8% ownership stake still intact. 

Word came out Monday that the Buss family is now looking to tack onto the deal with Kushner and Iger to sell their remaining shares in the NBA team, which would give the new ownership group a whopping 83% majority in one of the most iconic basketball franchises in the world. However, new reports indicate Jeanie was the only sibling that did not wish to relinquish ownership, and will be fighting the decision made, per multiple outlets. 

Walter’s surprise sale of the Lakers comes amid a federal investigation into the Guggenheim Partners CEO. It was reported that the FBI recently seized Walter’s phone and laptop, as well as a high-ranking Guggenheim Investments executive’s this past year. 

Some are viewing the Lakers’ sale as a quick way to liquify assets for Walter with potential legal problems ahead, and now Chelsea could be yet another way to do so.

The current valuation of Chelsea is estimated to be around 5 billion pounds.

Naturewall, which has bases in Beverley and Leeds, makes wooden wall panels and has appeared on Channel 4’s Grand Designs and BBC’s DIY SOS

A Yorkshire firm that has graced the screens of both Grand Designs and DIY SOS is poised for expansion following a seven-figure funding agreement. Naturewall was founded in 2018 by Philip Brown and John Hallam, with the aim of helping homeowners and commercial clients revamp their spaces using nature-inspired wall panels.

Its timber wall panels are crafted at its workshops for use throughout the home, encompassing Victorian and Georgian style panels, waterproof shower panels, acoustic panels for sound absorption and slatted panels. The Beverley-based business, which also operates a base in Leeds, has grown to become the UK’s largest SlatWall manufacturer, bolstered by a thriving home improvement and interior décor sector.

Over the years, the company’s impressive wood panels have been used to enhance everything from gyms and salons to bathrooms and bedrooms, with its elegant designs also earning television appearances. The company has featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs, as well as BBC’s DIY SOS, which joined forces with Naturewall to renovate the much-loved Cherry Tree Community Centre (CTCC) in Beverley, a local hub since 1993.

Now Naturewall, which employs 43 members of staff across its two Yorkshire locations, has secured an HSBC UK funding deal to bolster its stockholding capacity. Company bosses confirmed the investment will drive future growth ambitions by broadening and diversifying its panel range.

As part of its ongoing growth strategy, the firm has successfully broadened its retail partnerships throughout the UK, including an exclusive Made in Britain supply agreement with one of the country’s largest national kitchen, bedroom and bathroom retailers. With capacity bolstered by HSBC UK funding, Naturewall’s leadership team is forecasting a 30 per cent rise in turnover over the next 12 months, reports Hull Live.

Philip Brown, managing director of Naturewall, said: “Securing funding and increasing our working capital flexibility is an important milestone for the business. The steps we are taking today strengthen our ability to deliver new innovations in products, while scaling the availability of our products for customers and ensuring consistent standards of service.”

Becky Young, relationship manager at HSBC UK, added: “It’s fantastic to support Naturewall achieve this ambitious phase of growth. As the business expands its product portfolio and stock holding capabilities, it will continue to develop as a leading Made in Britain UK accredited manufacturer. We look forward to seeing how this funding supports the future success of the business in the UK and overseas.”

The HSBC UK-funded acquisition was facilitated through an introduction by Chris Mangle, director at Custom Business Finance.

CLSA, in its latest note, highlighted that Q1 earnings were a mixed bag for Indian IT and global peers. Basic Excel math does imply that AI volumes could supersede deflation by FY30, taking USD revenue growth from low to mid-single digits, the international brokerage said.

Given long gestation time and limited potential upsides, CLSA downgraded its rating on the shares of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys and Tech Mahindra to ‘Hold’, and that on Wipro and Mphasis to ‘Underperform’, due to structural concerns.

CLSA revises target prices for TCS, Infosys

For Infosys, CLSA however hiked its target price to Rs 1,147 apiece from Rs 1,109 apiece. The latest target price implies around 3% upside potential from the heavyweight IT stock’s previous closing price of Rs 1,115 apiece.
It also hiked target price for TCS to Rs 2,326 apiece from Rs 2,165 apiece, implying 2% upside potential, while it reiterated a target price of Rs 1,634 per share for Tech Mahindra, implying 3% upside potential.

CLSA sees 15% downside potential in Wipro shares

Wipro shares however faced a target price cut along with the rating downgrade to ‘Underperform’, with CLSA reducing its forecast to Rs 152 apiece from Rs 157 apiece. The latest target price implies 15% downside potential from the stock’s previous closing price of Rs 178 apiece.
CLSA meanwhile has a target price of Rs 2,113 apiece for the shares of Mphasis, implying over 13% downside potential.The international brokerage however sees mid-tier IT vendors in a better position to take advantage of these tectonic changes, with good quality management teams and execution.

How did IT stocks react?

IT stocks however bucked worries to snap a losing streak and trade in the green, despite an overall muted market sentiment favouring the bears. Nifty IT gained over 1% to cross 30,560 on Wednesday morning to emerge as the top sectoral gainer.

Coforge, Persistent Systems and HCL Tech shares jumped around 2% to lead gains, while LTI Mindtree, Infosys, and Wipro shares gained around 1% each. Mphasis, Tech Mahindra and TCS shares traded in the green with marginal gains.

IT stocks have seen sharp upswings and downswings recently. Earlier this year, the sector witnessed a sharp selloff after breakthroughs by AI startups fuelled concerns about potential disruption to the traditional IT services business model. Later, a sharp selloff in global tech leaders proved to be a blessing in disguise for Indian IT stocks, which emerged resilient amid the global tech rout.
