Description: OpenAI's new image generator, 4o, was reportedly used to produce realistic fraudulent documents, including fake restaurant receipts, prescriptions for controlled substances, and potentially other identity or financial documents. Users demonstrated how the model could be prompted to bypass safety restrictions to be misused for expense fraud, medical forgery, and other various forms of document falsification.

GPT-4o from OpenAI has received attention because of its advanced visual skills and also because of its dangerous misuse potential. GPT-4o stands apart from previous models because it produces text within images that looks authentic and rea…
Variants
A "variant" is an AI incident similar to a known case—it has the same causes, harms, and AI system. Instead of listing it separately, we group it under the first reported incident. Unlike other incidents, variants do not need to have been reported outside the AIID. Learn more from the research paper.
