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

Common Sense Media, a nonprofit that offers reviews of apps, services, and entertainment with a focus on youth safety, today said that OpenAI's ChatGPT for Teens is an "unacceptable risk."

ChatGPT for Teens, introduced in August, has guardrails for teens and is designed to help students learn, but Common Sense Media says that the teen protections offered by the feature "fall short of what the company promised." Common Sense Media's assessment found that ChatGPT "doesn't send alerts to parents when it should," doesn't offer "the right help in crisis situations," and "still does kids' homework," according to a press release.
