AI-generated summary OpenAI has released updates to its Security Bug Bounty program featuring higher rewards and new incentives for independent researchers finding software vulnerabilities. OpenAI says the changes are designed to encourage researchers and build a collaborative security environment while recognizing findings that help fix issues.
AI-generated summary OpenAI announced plans for its next internal security sprint, partnering with Cathedral Systems to test defenses and quadrupling rewards for critical findings in its Security Bug Bounty program. OpenAI says the initiative builds on previous efforts where engineers used Codex to investigate findings and prepare patches as part of an ongoing effort to strengthen systems.
AI-generated summary University of Washington researchers released a new study showing that AI models from Google, OpenAI and Alibaba penalize speakers with Nigerian and Chinese accents during interviews and tests. The study indicates that the models generally ranked American and British speakers highest while giving lower scores to Chinese and Nigerian speakers based on their delivery and perceived clarity.
AI-generated summary Anthropic announced in a regulatory filing that it may imminently meet its internal definition for recursive self-improvement capability.
