Google Enhances AI Bug Bounty Program with Increased Rewards

Oct 8, 2025
Google has updated its AI Vulnerability Reward Program, offering up to $30,000 for ethical hackers to identify critical AI security issues.

Google has announced updates to its AI Vulnerability Reward Program (AI VRP), offering rewards of up to $30,000 for ethical hackers who identify critical security and abuse issues in its AI systems. This initiative aims to enhance AI safety by encouraging third-party researchers to discover and report vulnerabilities.

The updated program provides clearer guidelines on eligible security and abuse issues, such as rogue actions and data exfiltration, while excluding content-related problems like jailbreaks and prompt injections. These content issues require long-term solutions and are not covered by the AI VRP.

Since the inception of AI-specific rewards, researchers have earned over $430,000 for reporting vulnerabilities, contributing significantly to Google's layered AI security strategy. The program's enhancements include a unified reward table for abuse and security issues, ensuring consistent rewards for high-impact findings.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
