AI Conversation Security

AI Conversation Security scans every ChatGPT response for references to potentially unreliable or unsafe sources, as well as for malicious code. Scanning runs automatically in the background, so your browsing remains uninterrupted.

When a ChatGPT response is evaluated as problematic, a warning or alert icon appears in the corner of the flagged element (source link, script):

• Warning—The response references content from a source we identified as potentially unreliable.

• Alert—The response references an unsafe source or contains malicious code.

Hovering over the warning/alert icon displays an explanation of the detected issue.

Some ChatGPT responses that reference multiple sources include a Sources section below the response. Clicking it displays all source links. Any link identified as problematic is marked with a warning or alert icon. Hovering over the icon displays the issue explanation.
