Google has unveiled a new bug bounty program rewarding ethical hackers up to $30,000 for discovering critical vulnerabilities in its AI products like Search, Gemini, and Workspace – a game-changer for AI security in 2025.

Security alert in the AI era! On October 7, 2025, Google announced a dedicated bug bounty program offering up to $30,000 to ethical hackers who uncover flaws in its AI systems. Expanding its Vulnerability Reward Program, the initiative targets high-risk exploits in products like Search, Gemini Apps, and Workspace. Scenarios include tricking Google Home into unlocking a smart door or using hidden commands to make Gmail send unauthorized emails.
Standard rewards reach $20,000 for critical bugs in core products, with bonuses up to $30,000 for standout reports. Having paid over $430,000 in the past two years for AI risks, Google is stepping up against threats as AI integrates deeper into daily life. Notably, model hallucinations or content issues (e.g., hate speech) are excluded and should be reported via in-app feedback for model training.
Google states this is "part of our wider effort to strengthen AI security as these systems become deeply integrated into our products." In an era blending AI with quantum and geopolitical risks, this program is vital. Researchers can submit via Google's Vulnerability Reward channels – a golden opportunity for AI vulnerability hunters!
