Researchers find gaps in ChatGPT for Teens safety protections

Common Sense Media's Youth AI Safety Institute tested ChatGPT for Teens with more than 4,000 prompts and found significant safety gaps.

The chatbot did not trigger parental notifications during conversations about suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and disordered eating, and it failed to direct teens to help in over 25% of situations designed to require it.

The researchers recommend OpenAI restrict ChatGPT to adults until the problems are resolved.
