Earn Big Bucks For Finding Bugs In ChatGPT With OpenAI's Bug Bounty Programme
Do you have a thing for bugs? Not the ones we find in nature, but the ones in the digital realm. If your answer is yes, OpenAI is asking people to find bugs in its artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT and GPT-4. In return, the company will give away money.
In a blog post, OpenAI unveiled its "Bug Bounty Program," a common practice in the tech world whereby users with the technical knowledge are urged to find vulnerabilities, flaws, and bugs that exist in a company's services.
Find bugs, get money
OpenAI said that it would offer cash rewards worth $200 for "low-severity" discoveries, going up to $20,000 for "exceptional discoveries." Essentially, if you discover a fatal flaw, you're about to make a lot of money. It's unclear though how OpenAI will measure this - considering what a user thinks is a great vulnerability for them might not be of importance to a tech company, as we've seen in the way Big Tech companies operate.
ChatGPT's parent company said that the programme was launched to foster "transparency and collaboration" and to find "vulnerabilities and flaws" that might appear in its AI system.?

For its submission and rewards process, OpenAI has partnered with Bugcrowd, a platform that acts as a bridge between companies and security researchers. So far, seven vulnerabilities have already been rewarded and new submissions are accepted or rejected within two hours.?The programme was first teased by OpenAI president and co-founder Greg Brockman in a Tweet in March.
