ChatGPT for Teens has special safeguards. A watchdog group finds most don't work

A recent study from Common Sense Media reveals that many safety measures intended to protect teenage users of the specialized version of ChatGPT, designed for teens, aren't working as intended. Despite efforts to shield young users from harmful topics, the chatbot often fails to alert parents when teens discuss self-harm or suicide. This oversight raises serious concerns about the platform's ability to support young users in need of mental health guidance, highlighting a critical gap in safeguarding measures that could have significant implications for young people's safety and well-being.
