The program is called Bug Bounty Program and offers rewards of up to $20,000.
Artificial intelligence is not perfect and also needs help from humans. OpenAI, the organization behind GPT-4, DALL-E 2 and Whisper, has launched a campaign to reward with cash those who help it find security flaws in its various tools and applications, including the popular ChatGPT.
The program goes by the name Bug Bounty Program and according to the organization’s official website “is a way to recognize and reward the valuable expertise of security researchers who help keep our technology and our company safe.”
The program is aimed at ethical hackers (those who use their knowledge to detect and report vulnerabilities) and has a financial fund to incentivize them. The payout per detected event ranges from $200 to $20,000 depending on the severity of the flaw.
OpenAI has launched in alliance with bugcrowd a page where you can report bugs detected in their different platforms. The page details how the program operates and the rules that participants must follow to contribute to OpenAI’s mission of providing artificial intelligence tools that are safe and useful for everyone.
At press time, 14 bugs had been reported by users on the platform, averaging a payout per event of $1,287.50, the largest of which was $6,500.
