- OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has launched a “Bug Bounty Program” where it will pay users who find bugs in its AI system.
- Bugcrowd, a platform specializing in managing bug bounty programs, will be in charge of managing warnings and payments.
- Bug bounty programs are an increasingly popular strategy in the tech industry.
ChatGPT’s creator company, OpenAI, will turn to its users to find errors in the regenerative artificial intelligence system.
The “Bug Bounty Program” will pay various amounts of money to those who report security flaws, vulnerabilities and other problems in the software that is the revelation of the year.
The program is open to everyone, from systems engineers and researchers to people in general who are simply interested in this kind of technological challenge.
The rewards, which will be paid in cash, says Engadget, they can be as low as $200 for “low severity findings” and up to $20,000 for “exceptional discoveries.”

Bug bounty programs
It is increasingly common for technology companies to turn to innovative approaches to identify and address vulnerabilities in their systems.
One strategy that is gaining popularity is the use of bug bounty programs, where firms offer payments to independent cybersecurity researchers who discover and report vulnerabilities in their software or systems.
Several major tech companies have done so, including Google, Facebook, and Apple.
These programs encourage so-called “ethical hacking,” where researchers actively search for vulnerabilities in order to help the company identify and fix them before they can be exploited by malicious actors.
One platform that facilitates bug bounty programs is bugcrowda collaborative cybersecurity company that connects organizations with a global community of skilled researchers.
Bugcrowd acts as a middleman, providing a platform for companies to launch their bug bounty programs and manage the entire process, from vulnerability submissions to payments.
The strategy is paying off: in 2019, for example, a teenager discovered a major flaw in Apple FaceTime that allowed users to spy on others before they answered a call. The teen reported the vulnerability through Apple’s bug bounty program and received $50,000.
GoogleFor his part, he came to pay $201,000 in a single reward.
What ChatGPT errors can be discovered
ChatGPT turns to Bugcrowd because it has had problems with bugs: In March, the entire system went offline after users reported seeing names of conversations they weren’t part of.
An important fact: not all problems reported to OpenAI guarantee cash prizes. In this list is the jailbreak or make the AI model say or do something negative.
