CCDH Calls for Safety

The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) finds that over half of ChatGPT's responses contained harmful content—self-harm, disordered eating, and substance abuse—after testing with three 13-year-old personas.
The CCDH notes that in a 45-minute conversation, ChatGPT provided dangerous advice, including instructions for mixing drugs and alcohol.
The CCDH calls on OpenAI to strengthen safety measures and to support regulatory frameworks protecting users from such outputs.
