OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has reportedly issued a “code red” alert within the company, signaling heightened urgency in response to emerging threats targeting ChatGPT. The internal directive is aimed at reinforcing the platform’s safety, reliability, and competitiveness, particularly as rival technologies advance rapidly and concerns grow over misuse.
Sources close to the matter say OpenAI is now reallocating resources to strengthen its AI models and underlying infrastructure. As a result, the company has chosen to delay its advertising initiative for ChatGPT, which was originally part of its revenue diversification strategy. The decision underscores a shift in focus from monetization to product security and stability.
The move follows increasing reports of malicious AI clones, prompt injection attacks, and rising competition from other generative AI firms. OpenAI, which recently reinstated Altman as CEO after internal leadership turmoil, is under pressure to maintain user trust and market leadership in a rapidly evolving landscape.
The “code red” comes at a time when ChatGPT is used by millions globally, making its security and ethical deployment a top priority. OpenAI is expected to unveil new protective measures and product upgrades in the coming weeks as part of this intensified effort.
