00:00Google will pay you to break its AI.

00:03Google just put a bounty on rogue AIs, and it's paying cash for anyone who can make them misbehave.

00:09On Monday, the company rolled out a new AI bug bounty program,

00:12a reward system aimed at catching AI bugs before they go all Skynet on us.

00:17The idea is simple.

00:18If you can get a Google AI product to do something shady,

00:21like make your smart home unlock the door for a stranger,

00:24or secretly email your inbox summary to a hacker,

00:27Google wants to know about it.

00:29And it's willing to pay up to $20,000 for your trouble,

00:32or even $30,000 if your report is extra impressive.

00:35The company's examples of qualifying bugs sound like the plot of a tech thriller,

00:40a poisoned Google calendar event that shuts off your lights,

00:43or a sneaky prompt that gets a large language model to spill your private data.

00:48Basically, if you can make AI act like a mischievous intern with admin access,

00:52you're the kind of person Google wants on its side.

00:55This isn't Google's first flirtation with AI bug hunting.

00:58Researchers have already earned over $430,000 in payouts

01:03since the company quietly started inviting experts to probe its AI systems two years ago.

01:08But this new program makes things official,

01:11spelling out exactly what counts as a real AI bug versus just, say,

01:14Gemini getting confused about what day it is.

01:17Issues like AI spouting misinformation or copyrighted material are still off the bounty list.

01:22Google says those should go through its regular product feedback channels

01:26so its safety teams can retrain the models, not reward the chaos.

01:31To sweeten the rollout, Google also unveiled CodeMender,

01:35an AI agent that hunts down and patches vulnerable code automatically

01:38and has already contributed fixes to 72 open-source projects.

01:43So yes, Google wants you to break its AIs responsibly.

01:46Just don't expect a payout for getting Gemini to write a bad haiku.

01:52So yes, regardless of what how much can we do,

01:56happiness is achievement back.

01:57If there is помощь ofarius,

02:00we will update different options.

02:02There are things here,

02:11there are things here I ol' myे showing up hereầy,

02:15these things are impossible for me to go in.
