These were not internal safety tests of the system but genuine user interactions. Most of the requests were related specifically to poisonous compounds.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"921\">After reviewing these conversations, biosecurity experts concluded that, in some instances, ChatGPT&#8217;s responses were relatively accurate. However, the information was presented in a simplified form and did not contain the level of technical detail expected from professional sources.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"923\" data-end=\"1245\">According to the WSJ, in early 2026 some users also attempted to obtain information from ChatGPT about infectious diseases and the properties of viruses. Among the requests were questions related to modifying the characteristics of disease-causing pathogens and seeking information about highly dangerous toxic substances.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1508\">After identifying such requests, OpenAI suspended a number of user accounts. At the same time, the company did not report every such case to law enforcement authorities, as U.S. law does not require AI developers to disclose every potentially dangerous request.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1840\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">OpenAI emphasized that its models are specifically trained to refuse requests that could facilitate harm. Before new versions are released, they undergo additional safety evaluations, and if credible threats or signs of criminal activity are identified, the company may share relevant information with law enforcement authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":151991,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-151990","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/151990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=151990"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=151990"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=151990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
