Google freezes open-source bug bounty amid AI slop flood

Original: Google freezes open-source bug bounty program amid flood of invalid AI slop

Google has suspended part of its Open Source Vulnerability Reward Program as of October 1, halting product vulnerability submissions after an influx of invalid, low-quality bug reports apparently generated by AI tools. The company says the flood of automated junk reports has made the program unmanageable, and the move has sparked debate about AI-generated spam overwhelming security research programs.

Why now: The announcement highlights growing concern that AI-generated low-quality submissions are overwhelming security research programs.
