Child safety experts are skeptical of OpenAI's ChatGPT for Teens

Engadget

On Tuesday, OpenAI released ChatGPT for Teens, an age-gated version of its chatbot designed for young users. The company first announced it was working on a system to automatically identify teens and restrict their usage of ChatGPT last September, following the death of 16-year-old Adam Raine, who, as alleged in a lawsuit filed by his parents, took his own life after ChatGPT acted as an enabler. "There's no need for a teen to create a new account or change anything; if we predict you're under 18, or you've told us so, this becomes your default experience," Lauren Jonas, OpenAI's head of youth and families, told Engadget. Make no mistake, kids are already using ChatGPT at an incredible scale. At the start of last year, the Pew Research Center found about a quarter of US teens were using the chatbot for their schoolwork.

ChatGPT's stricter teen mode starts rolling out today

Engadget

Last September, after it was sued for allegedly enabling the tragic death of 16-year-old Adam Raine, OpenAI announced it was working on a system that would automatically identify teens and restrict their usage of ChatGPT. Nearly a year later, the company is putting that system to work as part of a new user experience it calls ChatGPT for Teens. "There's no need for a teen to create a new account or change anything; if we predict you're under 18, or you've told us so, this becomes your default experience," says Lauren Jonas, OpenAI's head of youth and families. ChatGPT for Teens is broadly built around two pillars: learning and safety. Starting with the former, it brings together a selection of features OpenAI has released over the last year to make ChatGPT a better teacher.


Her Brain Was Broken. It Was Fixed With Sound--Not a Scalpel

WIRED

One woman's meth addiction was so bad, the only option left might have been brain surgery. Then a single session of noninvasive, focused ultrasound seemed to do what years of treatment could not. Erin McNulty had been missing for weeks when her mother, Linda, sat down on a chair in her living room, exhausted. Linda had put in her usual seven-day workweek at the antiques shop she runs near Burlington, Vermont. She'd spent her free evenings driving around, trying to track down her daughter. Erin, 45 at the time, had been using methamphetamine for years. Her substance use started in high school--first alcohol, then marijuana, and eventually heroin. Erin's brother used heroin, too. When Linda found out, she started driving her kids to a methadone clinic three hours away in Massachusetts. The methadone helped, but it made Erin feel tired all the time, so she started using cocaine to stay awake. There were stretches of sobriety--she had her daughter during one of them, in 2008.


AI Is Helping Solve the Intricate Genetic Puzzle of Schizophrenia

WIRED

Recent findings provide one of the most detailed pictures to date of the genetic architecture of schizophrenia, opening up new avenues for research into the disorder. One of the greatest challenges in modern genetics is schizophrenia . Unlike diseases caused by a single mutation, this disorder appears to arise from a combination of hundreds of genetic variants, each with small effects on different brain processes. Some influence neural development, while others alter communication between neurons or the organization of brain connections. Together, they contribute to the risk of developing the disease.

There's No Good Way to Talk About Celebrities and Eating Disorders

WIRED

Online speculation over the weight loss of celebrities like Ariana Grande--even out of genuine concern--can make things worse for people struggling with eating disorders. Viral discourse about celebrity women becoming frighteningly thin has become inescapable on social media . There are images showing the most shocking evidence of weight loss, "before and after" compilations, and widespread speculation about covert GLP-1 usage . A lot of the conversation is being held under the guise of concern, but experts tell WIRED many of these posts--even if well-intentioned--misinform the public about eating disorders and can even serve as unhealthy inspiration or trigger those in recovery. The discourse has reached a fever pitch after Ariana Grande released a music video for her new single and album "Petal," which features her auditioning endlessly for a table of misogynistic male studio executives who urge her to "lose a few [pounds]" and "get some work done."

Can We Infer Confidential Properties of Training Data from LLMs?

Neural Information Processing Systems

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly fine-tuned on domain-specific datasets to support applications in fields such as healthcare, finance, and law. These fine-tuning datasets often have sensitive and confidential dataset-level properties -- such as patient demographics or disease prevalence--that are not intended to be revealed. While prior work has studied property inference attacks on discriminative models (e.g., image classification models) and generative models (e.g., GANs for image data), it remains unclear if such attacks transfer to LLMs. In this work, we introduce PropInfer, a benchmark task for evaluating property inference in LLMs under two fine-tuning paradigms: question-answering and chat-completion. Built on the ChatDoctor dataset, our benchmark includes a range of property types and task configurations. We further propose two tailored attacks: a prompt-based generation attack and a shadow-model attack leveraging word frequency signals.
