OpenAI has announced a grant program worth $1 million to enhance the cybersecurity capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). The announcement comes after OpenAI and the Center for AI Safety signed an open letter warning that AI could cause an extinction-level event. The grant aims to encourage discourse and identify security issues in source code and aid in malware detection. OpenAI’s Bug Bounty Program was also launched last month for experts to identify vulnerabilities and security flaws in its systems. As OpenAI is a renowned operator in the AI space, the intervention has been viewed by some as a token gesture.
OpenAI is a company that pioneers the development of AI technologies and works to ensure the safe and ethical use of these technologies. The company has an established reputation in the AI industry and is considered as one of the leading operators.
Bill Gates is a prominent American business magnate and philanthropist who is recognised for his notable contributions in advancing the technology industry and changing the world. Gates was one of the signatories of an open letter with OpenAI and the Center for AI Safety warning of the danger of AI causing an extinction-level event.
