AI chatbots bypassed to answer bioweapon queries with attack success rates hitting 88%

Cisco researchers cracked safety guardrails on major AI chatbots within five conversational turns, extracting dangerous biological information. Hundreds of ChatGPT users already asked about poisons and bioweapons last summer, with biology experts confirming some responses were dangerously accurate. The findings expose a structural dilemma: the same knowledge needed for medical research can enable AI model misuse.
