Google this week announced a new dedicated AI Vulnerability Reward Program (VRP) that builds on the 2023 Abuse VRP extension covering issues and vulnerabilities in its AI systems. To date, bug hunters have earned more than $430,000 in rewards for AI-product related vulnerabilities, and the new VRP builds on that momentum and has been shaped based on the feedback received from participating researchers. One of the most important aspects of the new AI bug bounty program is that prompt injections, jailbreaks, and alignment issues are not in its scope. However, Google encourages researchers to report these content-related issues as well.…

Google’s DeepMind artificial intelligence research lab this week unveiled an AI agent designed to autonomously find and fix vulnerabilities. Google has several projects focusing on the use of AI for the discovery of vulnerabilities in software. The tech giant recently reported that its Big Sleep agent discovered a critical SQLite vulnerability and thwarted efforts to exploit it in the wild. Its latest product is CodeMender, an AI agent that not only finds security holes but also patches them. The company argues that such tools are needed because as AI gets better at discovering flaws, it will be difficult for humans…
