SAN FRANCISCO.- The Common Sense Media Organization, the child and family advocacy group, announced at an event in San Francisco, a partnership with OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT to help harness the full potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for adolescents and families and minimize the risks in the use of these technological developments in educational environments.
Initially, the two organizations will collaborate on AI guidelines and educational materials for parents, educators and youth, as well as a selection of GPTs for families in the GPT Store based on qualifications and standards the organization has noted is becoming increasingly difficult know if we are talking to real people online, so we seek to help students explore why they lChatbots are designed to look human and why it is required to have a critical and conscious vision of the subject.
“AI offers incredible benefits for families and teens, and our partnership with Common Sense will further strengthen our safety work, ensuring they can use our tools with confidence,” said Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI.
“Together we will work to ensure that AI has a positive impact on all teens and families,” said James P. Steyer, founder and CEO of Common Sense Media, dedicated to improving the lives of children and families by providing trustworthy information. and educational. “Our guides and selection will be designed to educate on the safe and responsible use of ChatGPT, so that we can collectively avoid any unintended consequences of this emerging technology.”
Artificial intelligence has emerged as an advance that could mean the most disruptive change experienced by humanity, even above the arrival of the internet. However, just as it has the potential to provide enormous benefits, without widespread adoption of responsible practices, it is equally capable of causing great harm, Common Sense said.
OpenAI is aware of the growing need to begin educating about AI and in fact hopes to gain the trust of parents and policymakers by partnering with organizations working to minimize the harms of technology on children, tweens and adolescents.
The main concern of the non-profit organization lies in the need to develop and use AI in a responsible, ethical and inclusive manner from its conception, so an agreement of this type goes in this direction.
In fact, it recognizes that technical excellence is not enough and points out that these models must be considered from a socio-technical perspective, which implies an interdependence between technology, human beings and the processes created by the latter.
A gap between parents and children
According to research by Impact Research, while 58% of students between 12 and 18 years old have used ChatGPT, only 30% of parents of school-age children have had experience with this tool, a gap that must be narrowed so that There is a conscious responsibility for AI in the youngest.
In this alliance we will work on the creation of a rating and review system specially designed for AI, focusing on elements such as promoting learning and respect for human rights.
OpenAI and Common Sense aim to explore how to customize language models for educational applications, allowing teenagers to access relevant information in fields such as science and biology.
Likewise, they commit to work together for the selection of applications known as “family” GPT within the GPT Store, suitable for youth use because they maintain the norms and values promoted by the organization.
“AI offers benefits for families and adolescents, and this partnership will further strengthen our safety work, ensuring that families and adolescents can use our tools with confidence,” said the executive.
User capacity
While acknowledging the risks of AI-generated images, the company is confident the ability of users to discern their veracity. While he highlighted OpenAI’s efforts to monitor and respond to the misuse of AI.
OpenAI, established in December 2015, is an AI research laboratory with the mission of advancing artificial intelligence in a safe, responsible and universally beneficial way. Recognized for its pioneering work in natural language processing, exemplified by projects like ChatGPT, OpenAI has significantly influenced the advertising industry.
