Common Sense’s Framework for AI Products
The partnership between OpenAI and Common Sense Media follows the introduction of Common Sense’s framework, launched in September, designed to assess the safety, transparency, ethical use, and overall impact of AI products. This framework aims to provide a clear “nutrition label” for AI-powered apps, shedding light on how these apps are used and highlighting potential areas of opportunity and harm.
Curating Family-Friendly GPTs
As part of the collaboration, OpenAI will work closely with Common Sense Media to curate “family-friendly” GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers) within the GPT Store. These AI-powered chatbot applications, based on OpenAI’s GenAI models, will adhere to Common Sense’s rating and evaluation standards. This initiative aims to ensure that AI tools, such as the widely used ChatGPT, align with the values of safety and suitability set by Common Sense Media.
