The chatbot’s conversational tone risks blurring the line between guidance and peer interaction, while critical safeguards—such as warnings for discussions of self-harm or suicide—remain ineffective. Experts question whether the platform’s design adequately addresses risks when teens engage with AI in unsupervised settings. The findings highlight growing concerns over unchecked interactions between children and advanced AI tools.
