Lawsuit filed against OpenAI over children's data used to train ChatGPT
A parent filed a lawsuit, Jane Doe v. OpenAI Foundation, on Tuesday on behalf of her two children, ages 12 and 16, alleging OpenAI used data from millions of children who signed up for ChatGPT accounts without parental permission, and that ChatGPT "grooms" children to share personal information in order to train AI models and construct profiles of children. The complaint cites exchanges in which ChatGPT continued chatting with a 12-year-old user after she stated her age and agreed to rate her looks. The plaintiffs seek class action certification for anyone in the US who was under 18 when they used ChatGPT, and demand OpenAI pay equity or a cash equivalent in proportion to the tokens each child contributed. A representative for OpenAI didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Common Sense Media research finds ChatGPT for Teens poses 'unacceptable risk' as safety features fail
Research released on 7 October 2026 by non-profit Common Sense Media found that OpenAI's ChatGPT for Teens poses an "unacceptable risk" for teens and parents because safety features often fail, including parental alerts for self-harm conversations. Tests on newly created parent-linked accounts produced zero alerts to parents after an hour of conversation about suicidal ideation, self-harm or disordered eating, and the group recommended OpenAI ban under-18 users until teen guardrails are proven reliable. OpenAI said the same day that average teen use of ChatGPT is limited and learning-focused, and disputed the research, saying its testing may have begun and concluded before activation of parental controls was complete.
