Child safety group calls ChatGPT for Teens an unacceptable risk

Common Sense Media says ChatGPT for Teens fails to protect children, after linking teen accounts to parent accounts and messaging for up to an hour about suicide, self-harm and disordered eating with no safety alert reaching the parents. In tests, the teen version offered a crisis hotline in 23 percent of cases, down from 33 percent for the regular chatbot. OpenAI disputes the findings.
