Microsoft launches bug bounty program for Bing AI with up to $15,000 rewards

Microsoft has introduced a bug bounty program for its Bing AI products, offering security researchers rewards ranging from $2,000 to $15,000 for finding vulnerabilities.

This includes identifying issues such as "jailbreak" prompts that cause Bing AI to generate responses that go against the intended guidelines of avoiding problematic content. Researchers must report previously unknown vulnerabilities that are deemed "important" or "critical" to security, providing documentation through video or writing.

The rewards are determined based on the severity and quality of the bug reports. This move comes after Bing AI faced challenges and controversies during its initial launch, and Microsoft seeks to address potential issues through this program.
