Research finds DALL·E 3, Nano Banana 2 and GPT-Image-2 easy to jailbreak into generating explicit images

White Circle, a company founded by former Anthropic, DeepMind, Hugging Face and OpenAI staff to safety-test AI models, published research showing the guardrails on DALL·E 3, Google's Nano Banana 2 and GPT-Image-2 can be bypassed fairly easily. Using only off-the-shelf tools freely available online and simple API calls, researchers produced non-consensual explicit images in about 13% of attempts on DALL·E 3, under 10% on Nano Banana 2 and about 3% on GPT-Image-2, without needing any custom or frontier model. Founder Denis Shilov, known for one of the most famous universal jailbreaks of leading models in 2024, called the results "horrifying" and said White Circle plans to open-source its entire attack pipeline so model makers understand the true scale of the problem. The research will be presented at NeurIPS in November, at a time when regulators in the US, Australia and the UK are doing little to meaningfully curb the spread of this kind of content.
