ChatGPT for Teens accused of prioritizing engagement over safety

common sense media, a nonprofit that provides age-based ratings and reviews of media and tech for families, labeled chatgpt for teens an unacceptable risk due to its design. despite openai's launch of chatgpt for teens in august with promised safeguards like parental controls and limits to high-risk content, a new study found that the chatbot's design still encourages engagement, even when it may pose a risk to user safety. the report noted that chatgpt's responses to young users in crisis earned it a failing score for three of the five severe harms treated as red lines. openai disputed common sense's assessment, citing concerns about its methodology.
