- Google is expanding its VRPs with a new AI-focused program
- Payouts could reach up to $ 30,000 for outstanding reports
- Content -based problems such as hallucinations are not covered with VRP
Google has announced a new AI vulnerability rewarding program (VRP) for researchers focusing on finding security problems and bugs in its AI tools.
The news comes about two years after Google expanded his abuse VRP, as security technical leaders Jason Parsons and Zak Bennett described as “a huge success for Google’s collaboration with AI researchers.”
Since the creation of the program, Google has awarded bug hunters over $ 430,000 in rewards for AI products alone, highlighting the size of the opportunity that puts ahead and the importance of designating bugs into an ever more connected and AI-driven world.

Parsons and Bennet admitted the “AI -rewarding extent was not always clear” and that “there was confusion over how [Google] handle[s] AI-related abuse problems, “hence the update.
AI VRP consists of eight separate categories: S1 and S2 and A1 through A6. The most serious, S1, is described as “attacks that change the state of the victim’s account or data with a clear security impact.” Other vulnerabilities include data ex -filtering, denial of service and quick injections.
Bug hunters can earn up to $ 20,000 with AI VRP, with bonuses for report quality and news that potentially collect payments up to $ 30,000. Flagship products offer the highest rewards and include Google Search, Gemini Apps and Google Workspace.
Products such as AI Studio, Jules and Non-Core Google Workspace applications fall to a lower level.
Security technical managers also used the post to highlight the distinction between security/abuse errors and content-related problems (such as hallucinations and copyright questions), where the latter was not covered by VRP.
“Continue reporting content-based issues, including jailbreaks and adjustment problems-but please report via feedback in the product and not through VRP,” notes Google.
