There is talk that AI chatbots using the GPT API should not be used in elementary schools.
Isn't it the same thing, since OpenAI banned ChatGPT for use by those under 13? It's the same GPT.
I heard that this story has been coming up among educators recently, so I wrote an article to organize it.
Summation
1.
Age restrictions for AI chatbots and ChatGPT using GPT API
• OpenAI restricts use of both ChatGPT and GPT APIs to those under 13 years of age
• However, the situation may be different for other services that use the GPT API.
2.
Differentiating Services Using GPT API
• Companies using APIs have their own safeguards and regulatory compliance obligations
• Compliance with relevant laws and regulations such as COPPA, GDPR, and FERPA is required.
• For educational services, safety can be enhanced with additional certifications such as CSPC.
3.
Concerns about use by elementary school students
• Possibility of exposure to inappropriate content
• Privacy issues
• Concerns about providing age-inappropriate information
4.
Recommendations for safe use
• Choose an educational AI service that has been legally verified and certified
• Use under the supervision of a parent or educator.
• Use services with age-appropriate content filtering
• Parallel education on AI ethics and safe use
In conclusion, not all services using the GPT API are inappropriate for elementary school students. Educational AI services with appropriate safety measures and regulatory compliance can be beneficial for elementary school students. The important thing is to verify the safety of the service and to provide appropriate supervision and education.
Actually
Korean:
"(C) You will not send any personal information to children under the age of 13 or the age of digital consent, and you will not allow minors to use the Services without the consent of a parent or guardian."
Original English text:
“(C) send us any personal information of children under 13 or the applicable age of digital consent or allow minors to use our Services without consent from their parent or guardian;”
Korean:
"Minimum Age. You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service, or have the permission of a parent or legal guardian if you are under 18."
Original English text:
"Minimum age. You must be at least 13 years old or the minimum age required in your country to consent to use the Services. If you are under 18 you must have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use the Services."
Korean:
"6. Children
Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. OpenAI does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided OpenAI with personal information through the Services, please email legal@openai.com . We will investigate the notification and, if appropriate, remove the personal information from our systems. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18, you must obtain permission from your parent or guardian to use the Services.
Original English text:
"6. Children
Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. OpenAI does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided Personal Information to OpenAI through the Service, please email us at legal@openai.com . We will investigate any notification and if appropriate, delete the Personal Information from our systems. If you are 13 or older, but under 18, you must have permission from your parent or guardian to use our Services."
Summary
1.
Children under 13 years of age :
In accordance with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, you should not provide personal information to children under the age of 13.
In accordance with our Privacy Policy, children under the age of 13 are not permitted to use the Service, and we will delete such information if we suspect it.
2.
Minors aged 13 or older but under 18 :
You may use the Service only with the consent of your parent or guardian, in accordance with the Personal Service Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
These regulations are measures to protect the personal information and safety of minors. The basic principle is to prevent minors from using the service without the consent of their parents or legal guardians.
To summarize, all of OpenAI's terms and conditions only mention the reason for protecting the privacy of minors. If there is anything wrong, please leave a comment and I will correct it.
Then
Prevent exposure to inappropriate content
Safety for youth use
Where do these stories come from?
OpenAI is also working on ethical content creation and ethical AI development. It has taken steps to limit the creation of undesirable content, but it is also stated that it is important to keep in mind that it can create results that are not suitable for everyone.
However, OpenAI's current efforts are all-age efforts, meaning that the rest of the stories are a combination of these terms, efforts, and various subjectivities.
The biggest reason OpenAI prohibits use by those under 13 is the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which strictly limits the collection of personal information from children under 13.
Developer Guidelines: OpenAI provides developers with safety best practices and content moderation tools to help them comply with policies, including age restrictions.
Monitoring and Sanctions: OpenAI monitors for policy violations through automated systems, human review, and user reports, and may take action when violations occur.
If we look at the main contents requested,
1.
Data transmitted through the API must be encrypted.
2.
API users must implement their own age verification, security measures, parental consent procedures, and privacy policies.
3.
Content Moderation: We recommend using OpenAI’s Moderation API to filter out inappropriate or harmful content.
4.
Compliance: Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your area.
Therefore, companies that use GPT APIs are subject to legal compliance and are required to verify this.
COPPA, GDPR, and FERPA will be verified.
1.
COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)
Federal law in the United States protects the online privacy of children under the age of 13.
Applies to operators of websites or online services directed to children.
Collection of personal information from children without parental consent is prohibited.
2.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The EU's General Data Protection Regulation is the most stringent data protection regulation in the world.
Applies to all companies processing personal data of EU citizens (including companies outside the EU).
Strengthens individuals’ data rights and emphasizes companies’ responsibility for data processing.
3.
FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)
Federal law in the United States protects the privacy of students' education records.
Applies to all educational institutions receiving federal funds.
Give parents access to their children's education records and control over disclosure of those records.
Although these laws all aim to protect personal information, they have different targets and scopes.
In addition to the above
CSPC (California Student Privacy Certified) is an important student privacy certification offered by iKeepSafe. Key features include:
1.
Purpose: To protect student data privacy on websites and online services used by schools.
2.
Foundation: Based on FERPA assessment and COPPA Safe Harbor.
3.
Scope: Includes student data privacy regulations under federal and California state law.
4.
Intended for: Operators and providers of websites and online services that are used in whole or in part by schools.
5.
Significance: This certification means that companies are leaders in protecting student privacy.
6.
Trust: Gives parents, students, and schools confidence that the technology will handle student data securely.
7.
Compliance: Includes a variety of requirements, including clear privacy policies, data collection minimization, and security measures.
There is also a back. Although South Korea does not have such a certification system yet, overseas edtechs will be able to verify how they are protecting youth through such certification.
If you do not receive and maintain this certification,
Legal sanctions are imposed.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) can impose civil penalties of up to $50,120 per violation.
If there are multiple or persistent violations, fines can add up to millions of dollars.
Here are some legal cases resulting from violations of COPPA.
1.
YouTube and Google (2019)
Violation: Collecting personal information of children under 13 without parental consent and using it for advertising purposes
Result: $170 million fine (largest COPPA-related fine in FTC history)
2.
TikTok (formerly Musical.ly) (2019)
Violation: Collecting personal information from users under the age of 13 and allowing the creation of public profiles without parental consent.
Result: $5.7 million fine
3.
Microsoft (2023)
Violation: Collecting personal information from children under 13 without parental consent on Xbox game services
Result: $20 million fine
4.
Amazon (2023)
Violation: Inappropriately retaining children’s voice data and location information in the Alexa voice assistant service
Result: $25 million fine
5.
Epic Games (Fortnite creators) (2022)
Violations: Collection of personal information from users under the age of 13, violation of children's privacy with inappropriate default settings
Result: $275 million fine (largest fine for COPPA violation)
6.
Edmodo (2023)
Violation: Inappropriately collecting and advertising personal information of students under the age of 13 on educational platforms
Result: $6 million fine (suspended due to company's inability to pay)
As mentioned above, global companies are fined if they do not comply with COPPA or other privacy laws, so it seems that smaller companies will have to risk their company's existence to comply.
If we look at other artificial intelligence besides ChatGPT,
1.
Google Gemini:
Basically, according to Google's Terms of Service, it is intended for users 18 years of age or older.
However, we recently relaxed the age restriction for educational purposes, so that students aged 13 and older can now access it through Google Workspace for Education accounts.
It is available in English in over 100 countries, including the United States; other countries may have their own minimum age requirements.
💬
Addition
Target Expansion:
• Gemini is available to students in the US with their Google Workspace for Education accounts
• Previously, only students 18 years of age or older had access to their school account.
International Expansion:
• Gemini is available in English to teens in over 100 countries outside the U.S.
Age restrictions:
• In countries other than the US, the minimum age requirement of that country applies (14 years old in Korea)
Emphasize educational objectives:
• Provided through Google Workspace for Education accounts and focused on educational use
Age Verification:

2.
Claude:
Claude is only available to users 18 years of age or older.
Claude is not designed for children and does not have the ability to verify a user's age through conversations.
Both AI services have age restrictions, with particular attention paid to use by minors. Google Gemini has lowered the age restriction for educational purposes, but still focuses on safety and privacy. Claude has a more stringent age restriction, and is available only to adults.
Therefore, if you are concerned about AI usage by users under the age of 13, it is safe to give priority to services that have received these legal verifications and certifications. In addition, these services use their own content filtering and moderation APIs.
It is safer to use for educational purposes.

    Gemini의 경우 Gemini for Education은 18세 이상만 가능합니다. Gemini for Student가 14세 이상용으로 올해 안에 나올거 같습니다.

    perplexity는 로그인없이 사용하는 경우 연령 제한이 없습니다(개인정보를 수집하지 않기 때문) 마찬가지라면 chatgpt도 로그인 없이 사용하는 경우 연령 제한을 두지 않아도 되지 않을까요?

    퍼플렉시티는 만13세 이상이라고 오늘 엔터프라이즈 학교 할인 블로그에 나오더라고요.

    퍼플렉시티는 처음에 연령제한 없다고 좋아했는데, 정리하면서 보니까 13세 이상 나와서 실망했는데..결국 개인정보 문제군요 ㅎ
