OpenAI has offered a bug bounty for its AI offers including ChatGPT with rewards reaching as much as USD 20,000 via Bugcrowd, a bug bounty platform.
OpenAI Bug Bounty Program
The OpenAI team reveals that they recognize the critical importance of security for its services and platforms thus putting up the Bug Bounty program.
As the OpenAI team mentions in their announcement, “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 offers a reward that starts at USD 200 (around PHP 11,200) for ‘low-severity findings’ and as high as USD 20,000 (around PHP 112,400) for ‘exceptional discoveries’.
However, the bounty program and its rewards don’t include:
- jailbreaking ChatGPT
- getting the model to say bad things to you
- getting the model to tell you how to do bad things
- getting the model to write malicious code for you
As the Bugcrowd page puts it, “Model safety issues do not fit well within a bug bounty program, as they are not individual, discrete bugs that can be directly fixed. Addressing these issues often involves substantial research and a broader approach.”
If you found bugs and want to report them or just want to learn more about the program, visit the Bugcrowd page.
