Common Sense Media urges OpenAI to halt teen access after safety test failures
Common Sense Media’s Youth AI Safety Institute rated ChatGPT for Teens an 'unacceptable risk' after testing over 4,000 prompts. The report found that parental alerts for suicide and self-harm often failed to trigger, and crisis referrals were missed in over 25% of cases. OpenAI disputes the findings, citing methodology flaws, while the nonprofit urges blocking teen access until safeguards are improved.
