OpenAI paying users to find bugs
OpenAI wants help finding bugs in its artificial intelligence systems, including ChatGPT. Users can earn cash for reporting vulnerabilities through Bugcrowd, with payouts ranging from $200 for “low-severity findings,” to $20,000 for “exceptional discoveries,” according to a company blog post. Bug bounty programs are common in the tech industry and OpenAI says “transparency and collaboration” are important for identifying problems.
- Issues that aren't eligible for rewards include jailbreak/safety bypasses, or questions that lead the AI model to write malicious code, the blog post states.
- However, the above issues could become eligible for rewards if “they have an additional directly verifiable security impact on an in-scope service.”
- Microsoft, LinkedIn's parent company, is an investor in OpenAI.
