Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a jailbreak technique to bypass ethical guardrails erected by OpenAI in its latest large language model (LLM) GPT-5 and produce illicit instructions. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) security platform NeuralTrust said it combined a known technique called Echo Chamber with narrative-driven steering to trick the model into producing undesirable responses. "We use Echo Chamber to seed and reinforce a subtly poisonous conversational context, then guide the model with low-salience storytelling that avoids explicit intent signaling," security researcher Martí Jordà said . "This combination nudges the model toward the objective while minimizing triggerable refusal cues." Echo Chamber is a jailbreak approach that was detailed by the company back in June 2025 as a way to deceive an LLM into generating responses to prohibited topics using indirect references, semantic steering, and multi-step inference. In recent weeks, the...
