ChatGPT for Teens is an ‘unacceptable risk,’ says Common Sense Media

Common Sense Media calls OpenAI's ChatGPT for Teens an unacceptable risk, citing failed parent alerts.

Common Sense Media assessed OpenAI's ChatGPT for Teens, introduced in August, and called it an unacceptable risk. The group said parental alerts often do not fire, crisis help is inadequate, and the product still completes students' homework, including a reported hour-long self-harm conversation with no parent alert. OpenAI said much of the testing may have ended before parental controls finished activating and disputed the methodology. Common Sense Media said some accounts were linked well beyond that window and still received no notifications.
