Summary
Common Sense Media's Youth AI Safety Institute tested over 4,000 prompts on accounts registered to 13- to 17-year-olds and said ChatGPT missed more than one in four instances where a crisis referral was warranted, also citing failures in parental alerts and age checks. It urged OpenAI to keep teens off the platform. OpenAI disputed the findings, saying the testing doesn't reflect how its safeguards work in practice.
