The partnership follows OpenAI's commitment to participate in Common Sense’s new framework for ratings and reviews of AI products, launched in September. The framework aims to provide a "nutrition label" for AI-powered apps, highlighting their usage contexts and potential opportunities and harms. This comes amid regulatory pressure on OpenAI to demonstrate that its GenAI-powered apps, like ChatGPT, are beneficial to society and not harmful.
