Common Sense Media flags ChatGPT for Teens as 'unacceptable risk'

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Common Sense Media has declared OpenAI's ChatGPT for Teens an "unacceptable risk," citing failures in parental alerts and safety features. The nonprofit's assessment found that the service did not notify parents during chats involving self-harm and did not provide adequate help in crisis situations. OpenAI disputes these findings, suggesting the testing methodology was flawed and conducted before parental controls were fully activated, while Common Sense Media stands by its evaluation. AI

IMPACT Raises concerns about the effectiveness of safety guardrails and parental controls in AI products designed for younger users.
