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.
