Google pauses open source bug bounty program over flood of AI submissions

Original: Google benches open source bug bounty program following ‘significant rise’ in AI submissions

Google has shelved its open source bug bounty program, citing a significant rise in AI-generated vulnerability reports that analysts say offer little real value. Security researchers have long complained that automated tools mass-submit low-quality or duplicate findings, overwhelming triage teams. The move has reignited debate in the security community over how AI is reshaping responsible disclosure, and whether legitimate reports are being drowned out by machine-generated noise.

Why now: Google's decision highlights growing frustration with low-quality AI-generated security reports, a timely issue for the security community.
