Google pauses open source bug bounty amid flood of AI reports

Original: Google pauses open source bug bounty program after rise in AI submissions

Google has paused its open source bug bounty program after a sharp rise in submissions generated with the help of AI tools. The company says many automated reports are low-quality duplicates that waste reviewers' time, so it is halting new entries while it reassesses how to handle AI-assisted vulnerability reports. Security researchers are watching to see how the program restarts.

Why now: The pause highlights a broader problem: AI tools are flooding bug bounty and security programs with low-quality automated submissions.
