A watchdog group found that most safety features in ChatGPT for Teens do not function as intended. This assessment suggests the chatbot poses an "unacceptable risk" to children. The group noted that the chatbot does not alert parents when users discuss self-harm or suicide. OpenAI has disputed the testing methodology used in the findings.
