Google freezes open source bug bounty program amid AI reports

Original: Google froze its open source bug bounty program due to a ‘significant rise’ in AI submissions

Google has paused its open source bug bounty program, citing a significant rise in submissions generated by artificial intelligence. The company says the flood of AI-written vulnerability reports has become unmanageable, adding strain on reviewers and drowning out legitimate findings. The move has reignited debate over whether AI tools are overwhelming security research workflows and how bounty programs should adapt.

Why now: It highlights growing friction between automated AI tools and human-moderated security programs.
