OpenAI Institutes a “Bug Bounty Program” for ChatGPT
Offering cash rewards to users that identify bugs.
OpenAI is asking the public for their help in identifying errors in ChatGPT to help improve the chatbot’s user security and privacy. The company has launched a Bug Bounty Program asking users to report bugs, security flaws and other vulnerabilities.
“The OpenAI Bug Bounty Program is a way for us to recognize and reward the valuable insights of security researchers who contribute to keeping our technology and company secure,” the company said in its announcement.
The bounty program is open to all users and will reward their efforts with cash prizes, ranging from $200 USD for “low-severity findings” to $20,000 USD for “exceptional discoveries.”
According to the program’s signup page, 14 bug identifications have been awarded since the program’s launch and the average reward is $1,287 USD. OpenAI has teamed up with the bug bounty platform Bugcrowd to tackle submissions and distribute payouts.
In other tech news, former Twitter execs have sued the tech company over unpaid legal bills.
