I cannot replicate this but Sachin Patel posted about this on X and on Search Engine Watch - here is his screenshot:
He wrote, "When a user searches for something, this verification screen appears before showing the results."
As you can see, Bing is asking you to take "one last step" by solving "the challenge below to continue." That challenge is just clicking on a check box to "verify you are human."
Forum discussion at X.
