Get smart on it
OpenAI is running an ongoing private program that pays researchers to find universal jailbreaks, which are methods that can defeat the company's biosafety protections across its frontier AI models. The company increased the reward for discovering such jailbreaks from $25,000 to $50,000, reflecting the importance it places on identifying vulnerabilities in how its models handle biology-related requests. Interested participants must submit applications with their name, affiliation, and experience, sign a non-disclosure agreement, and have an existing ChatGPT account to participate. This initiative is part of OpenAI's broader effort to strengthen safeguards for advanced AI capabilities in biology before deployment.
