OpenAI evolves Bio Bug Bounty program, doubles rewards to $50K

OpenAI has announced the evolution of its Bio Bug Bounty into a private program, now named the OpenAI Bio Bug Bounty program, which will offer doubled rewards of $50,000. This initiative invites researchers skilled in AI red teaming, security, or biosecurity to identify potential vulnerabilities in OpenAI’s advanced models, particularly focusing on a universal jailbreak that could breach the company’s biosafety measures. This move aligns with OpenAI’s broader strategy to collaborate with specialized experts to enhance model safeguards at the critical intersection of AI and biology.
