OpenAI introduced two new safety features in ChatGPT: Lockdown Mode, an optional, advanced security setting for highly risk-sensitive users, and consistent “Elevated Risk” labels for capabilities that may introduce additional security concerns, especially when connected to apps or the web.
Lockdown Mode restricts how ChatGPT interacts with external systems to reduce prompt injection and data exfiltration. Elevated Risk labels appear in product interfaces to help users understand those features’ potential risks and make informed choices.
These updates build on existing safeguards like sandboxing, URL protections, and enterprise controls.
