OpenAI said Monday that it's partnering with Common Sense Media on an initiative designed to help teens understand how to use artificial intelligence in a safe manner. Common Sense, a nonprofit focused on making technology safe and accessible to kids, has been working to develop an AI ratings and review system intended for parents, children and educators to better understand the technology's risks and benefits. In September, Craig Newmark Philanthropies, the Craigslist founder's philanthropic arm, said it contributed $3 million to help fund a Common Sense artificial intelligence and education initiative. OpenAI and Common Sense didn't say how LLMs will be tweaked to help aid educators or teens. Altman said LLMs customized for educational purposes could help teens "who want to learn about science or learn about biology."

Since the 2015 debut of Craig Newmark Philanthropies, the entrepreneur has donated many millions of dollars to various causes involving media and technology. Newmark, 70, spoke to CNBC as he was recovering from a minor heart procedure he went through in late August. At the same time, he's worried that tech companies, particularly in social media, "aren't even trying anymore to get rid of stuff they know is dishonest," he said. "Protecting kids when it comes to AI is a big issue," Newmark said, regarding his donation to Common Sense Media. Within journalism, Newmark's most high-profile endeavor is the City University of New York's Craig Newmark Graduate School in Journalism.
