OpenAI announced Monday that it is partnering with Common Sense Media on an initiative designed to help teens understand how to use artificial intelligence safely.
“We are committed to using this tool safely and responsibly with teens and as part of educational experiences,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said at a Common Sense event in San Francisco. “We want to find a way to make it widely available to people who are trying to do it.”
Common Sense is a nonprofit organization focused on making technology safe and accessible to children. Develop An AI rating and review system aimed at helping parents, children, and educators better understand the risks and benefits of technology. Questions Common Sense wants to answer include: Will AI foster a desire to learn in young people? Will it respect human and child rights? Will the technology have the potential to perpetuate the spread of misinformation? Includes.
The goal of the new partnership is to help create AI guidelines and educational materials for children, educators, and parents, and to develop “family-friendly” GPT-branded Large Language Models (LLMs) that align with Common Sense assessments and standards. It’s about supporting curation. GPT is the backbone of OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot released in late 2022.
Common Sense Media CEO Jim Steyer said in a statement that the educational materials developed through the partnership are aimed at “educating families and educators on the safe and responsible use of ChatGPT and the unintended consequences of this emerging technology.” We will be able to avoid this as a group.”
At Monday’s event, Altman spoke more broadly about the partnership and AI, saying he hopes it will “benefit children” who don’t have access to AI. Part of OpenAI’s mission is to “make really useful AI available for free,” he said.

OpenAI and Common Sense do not say how the LLM will be tailored to support educators and youth. Altman said an LLM customized for educational purposes could help teens “who want to learn about science or who want to learn about biology.”
“I think we still don’t know exactly how people want to use it,” Altman said. He added that he envisions a world where “every teen or every adult has a personalized AI.”
Regarding the upcoming election and the potential risks posed by so-called deepfakes to confuse people, Altman acknowledged that AI-generated images pose a problem, but said, “People are more aware than we believe. I think it’s much more sophisticated and I don’t think I believe everything.” The image you see. ”
He talked about how OpenAI is preparing for the ways that bad actors could take advantage of AI.
“We have taken massive response measures,” he said. “This will be monitored very closely.”
