OpenAI Launches Bio-Security Bug Bounty Program (heise.de)

• Dedicated bounty program for biosecurity-related vulnerabilities.
• Testing robust guardrails in the ChatGPT 5.5 architecture.
• Mitigation of existential risks regarding biological pathogens.

"OpenAI has introduced a targeted bug bounty program to stress-test the biological security safeguards within ChatGPT 5.5. The initiative invites security researchers to identify potential vulnerabilities that could allow the AI to assist in the creation of biological threats. This move reflects the increasing integration of safety protocols within large language models to prevent dual-use research of concern in synthetic biology."
