Common Sense Media is urging OpenAI to keep teens off ChatGPT, saying its new teen experience poses an "Unacceptable Risk" after extensive testing found shortcomings in safeguards meant to protect younger users. Why it matters: OpenAI has made protecting younger users a central part of its effort to make ChatGPT safer, but the findings suggest some of those protections may give parents more confidence than they warrant. "We welcome rigorous independent evaluation, but we do not believe Common Sense Media's testing accurately reflects how ChatGPT's teen safeguards work in practice," an OpenAI spokesperson said. Driving the news: Common Sense Media's Youth AI Safety Institute said it tested more than 4,000 prompts on accounts registered to 13- to 17-year-olds. The group found ChatGPT generally did not provide instructions facilitating suicide or self-harm, eating disorders or sexual or romantic roleplay, but said it was less reliable at recognizing when a teen needed outside help.
