Common Sense Media rates ChatGPT for Teens an unacceptable risk over engagement design

Common Sense Media labeled ChatGPT for Teens an "unacceptable risk," finding its design still encourages engagement even in crisis situations.

The report says the teen version failed to meet commitments on three of five severe harms, and that break reminders appeared only twice across nearly 2,000 prompts.

OpenAI disputed the methodology, saying the testing may have ended before parental controls were fully active, and cited its own data showing teens average under 15 minutes a day.
