OpenAI has upgraded its previous biosecurity bug bounty initiative into a continuous private program, rebranding it as the OpenAI Bio Bug Bounty program.
Targeting researchers with experience in AI red teaming, cybersecurity, or biosecurity, the program aims to uncover universal jailbreaks capable of bypassing its built-in biosecurity challenges. OpenAI has also increased the reward bounty to $50,000.
