summary: "OpenAI's first teen usage report shows adolescent users spend an average of under 15 minutes per day on the AI chatbot, with fewer than 2% using it for more than three consecutive hours. The company also noted that teenagers send 2.7 million more learning-related messages than non-users and is introducing a College Planner feature to support university applications. The data release follows criticism from Common Sense Media and the Youth AI Safety Institute, which labeled the teen-specific bot an \"unacceptable risk\" after an audit found declining crisis-safety metrics and persistent self-harm conversations without parental alerts."
