According to a Wall Street Journal report on the 25th (local time), since OpenAI enhanced ChatGPT's capabilities, hundreds of attempts to solicit instructions for manufacturing or dispersing toxins and biological weapons have been detected globally, and the AI did provide actual manufacturing instructions to some users. ChatGPT provided detailed explanations in response to questions about how to manufacture ricin, a highly toxic substance banned under international conventions, and how to create a variant of the measles virus resistant to the measles vaccine. After biology and terrorism experts reviewed the conversation logs, they assessed that some answers were highly accurate and could be utilized for the actual production of weapons of mass destruction. OpenAI blocked the offending accounts immediately upon detection but did not separately report the incidents to U.S. investigative authorities such as the FBI, as the United States has yet to enact legislation mandating such actions. Researchers at Cisco stated they were able to bypass safety guardrails after exchanging as few as five messages with major AI chatbots. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, along with other major AI firm CEOs, last month petitioned the U.S. Congress to legally mandate safeguards at the point of ordering synthetic DNA and RNA.
