Common Sense Media says OpenAI's new ChatGPT for Teens poses an "unacceptable risk," Axios' Ina Fried reports.

• That's after the nonprofit, which rates and recommends family media, found shortcomings in safeguards meant to protect younger users.

🧑‍💻 The group's Youth AI Safety Institute tested more than 4,000 prompts on accounts registered to 13- to 17-year-olds.

• It found that ChatGPT generally did not provide instructions facilitating suicide or self-harm, eating disorders, or sexual or romantic role-play — but says it was less reliable at recognizing when a teen needed outside help.
• ChatGPT missed more than 1 in 4 instances in which its testers determined a crisis referral was warranted, the group says.

The group also says that on more than a dozen newly created, parent-linked accounts, testers could spend up to an hour discussing suicide, self-harm or disordered eating without triggering a parental alert.

• And it found that "study mode" — meant to help students work through problems rather than deliver immediate answers — could be circumvented.

🤔 The other side: OpenAI says it has issues with Common Sense Media's methodology and findings.

• A spokesperson tells Axios: "We welcome rigorous independent evaluation, but we do not believe Common Sense Media's testing accurately reflects how ChatGPT's teen safeguards work in practice."

The FCC is considering a conservative group's request to loosen rules on political robocalls before November's midterm elections, including those with AI-generated voices.

🚫 Federal law currently bans most robocalls to cellphones unless the caller gets consent beforehand.

• The petition calls for a waiver that would allow political groups to use artificial or prerecorded voices in unsolicited wireless calls.

⚠️ Consumer advocacy groups warn that the proposed change could trigger a surge of unwanted, partisan and potentially misleading calls in the critical final days of the elections.

• The Republican-led FCC could rule on the proposal as soon as later this month.
