OpenAI wants to make AI safe for kids

AI technology, just like most technologies that involve the internet and personal data, poses a threat to children and families. Right now, we’re just one year and change into this new generative AI age, and we’re still discovering the potential risks. Well, OpenAI has partnered with Common Sense Media to help make AI safe for kids and families.

AI safety is one of the biggest topics in the tech world right now. This technology involves using a ton of data scraped from the internet, and people don’t know where that data ends up. For example, a few ChatGPT conversations were leaked, and sensitive data got out. Also, AI chatbots run the risk of generating harmful or offensive content based on the information they gather from the internet.

So, companies and regulatory bodies are all trying to make AI safe for everyone. This is a very tough task to do, as AI is still largely unregulated. We’re just going to have to see how things go as time goes on.

Sam Altman seems to be doing a thousand-and-one things now. Along with running OpenAI, he is collaborating with Samsung to build AI-centric chips and partnering with Jony Ive to develop an AI device. You’d think that he’d have his hands full, but that does not seem to be the case.

According to a report from Common Sense Media, OpenAI and Common Sense Media are collaborating to create sensible guidelines that make using AI safe for kids and families. This will involve providing tools and educational material surrounding AI technology that kids and families can utilize. Information is probably one of the best tools in this case. Most parents don’t know about generative AI and don’t know about the associated risks of exposing their children to it. So, this is extremely helpful.

Also, the companies are going to focus on providing kid-friendly GPTs on the GPT store. If you don’t know what the GPT store is, OpenAI just launched it recently. The GPT store is a marketplace where people can install custom-made GPTs to use.

Right now, the companies are still in the planning stage, so we don’t have too much information on what will come of it. However, this is much the case with many rules and regulations regarding AI. We’re all still waiting for the ink to dry and regulations to be made. So, only time will tell.
