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.
“ChatGPT for Teens could give parents false confidence in guardrails and safety alerts that frequently don’t work,” Tom Siegel, the executive director of Common Sense Media’s Youth AI Safety Institute, says in a statement. “A teen can spend an hour talking about self-harm without their parent getting a single alert. Until OpenAI fixes that and proves it with independent testing, ChatGPT should be for adults only.” You can read the full assessment here.
