ChatGPT rated "unacceptable risk" for teens after parental alerts failed during suicide conversations
An independent audit by the Common Sense Media Youth AI Safety Institute found that OpenAI's teen safety features in ChatGPT failed to trigger parental alerts during conversations involving suicide and self-harm across more than 4,000 test prompts. Consequently, the institute designated the platform an "unacceptable risk" for minors and recommended locking out teenage users until safety protections are independently verified.
