Apple caps security bug reports amid surge in AI-generated findings
As it grapples with a surge in “AI slop” security reports, Apple has recently made changes to its bug bounty program. Here are the details.
AI-generated reports are causing a surge of flawed security submissions to Apple's bug bounty program, prompting the company to limit the number of bugs that can be reported. This issue is exacerbating the difficulty of identifying genuine security concerns, as AI models are not only uncovering genuine issues but also creating false ones, which are treated as legitimate. The rise of AI in hacking and research is being seen as a double-edged sword, posing both a threat and a challenge to Apple's security efforts.
