Google Pauses Open-Source Bug Bounty Amid AI-Generated Report Flood

Original: Google Pauses Open-Source Bug Bounty Program After Flood of Invalid AI-Generated Reports

Google has paused its open-source bug bounty program after receiving a flood of invalid, AI-generated vulnerability reports. The company says the surge of low-quality, automated submissions is overwhelming triage and slowing down work on legitimate security bugs. Security researchers say the case highlights a growing problem: generative AI tools are making it easy for anyone to mass-produce plausible-looking but worthless bug reports.

Why now: People are discussing it because it shows AI-generated spam now disrupting a major security program.
