For many years, Apple has been awarding prizes to people who find bugs in its software and point them out. A few years ago, the company even rewarded a Turkish student. Now Apple has opened its artificial intelligence servers for testing for Apple Intelligence, which is expected to arrive on compatible devices next week. There is a great reward for anyone who finds a bug in the servers and reports it to Apple.
1 million dollars reward for finding a flaw in Apple Intelligence servers
According to the latest leaks, Apple is preparing to launch Apple Intelligence with iOS 18.1 for iPhone 15 Pro and all higher model phones next week. But at the same time, Apple, which does not want any errors related to Apple Intelligence and artificial intelligence, is opening its artificial intelligence servers for testing. The company has opened the AI servers that will run on iPhone, iPad and Mac devices for testing. If anyone manages to overcome the security measures of these servers and hacks the servers, they will receive a prize money of up to 1 million dollars from Apple.
Apple’s AI servers, called Private Cloud Compute, will receive and process user requests for Apple Intelligence. Once the user is finished, all information will be deleted from the server. Apple is also adding end-to-end encryption to the servers. This means that with these measures, AI requests from Apple Intelligence will not be recorded in the system, nor will anyone, including Apple, be able to see the information. Still, Apple wants full security on the new servers. The company’s measures, which have emerged with its security and privacy for years, have caused great financial losses to some companies focused on collecting information.
Apple is giving researchers an easy way to analyze the software side of the technology. The company gives software developers access to the underlying source code of AI servers. To further encourage your research in Private Cloud Computing, we are expanding the Apple Security Prize to reward vulnerabilities that demonstrate that PCC’s core security and privacy guarantees have been compromised, Apple said. The company will award $250,000 if a researcher can remotely intercept a user’s data request. It is known that Apple will increase this amount to 1 million dollars if malicious software (virus) can be remotely installed on the servers. The company says that they will consider awarding prizes if they find openings outside of these categories.
