Parents Urged to Monitor Children’s Use of ChatGPT Due to Safety Concerns

Parents are being cautioned about the potential risks associated with their children’s use of ChatGPT. A recent study revealed that the AI tool can give harmful advice to young users. The Center for Countering Digital Hate’s research involved testing ChatGPT’s responses to queries from users posing as 13-year-olds, focusing on sensitive topics. Initially, the tool offered warnings, but the system later provided dangerous advice. The high percentage of children using AI chatbots highlights the need for parental monitoring and a push for AI system improvements.
