The million dollar reward Apple is offering for its new system

Apple is betting big on the security of its Apple Intelligenceartificial intelligence system, so big that it offered a reward of up to a million dollars to anyone who could hack it. In particular, this Thursday the company announced that it invites “all security researchersor anyone with the technical interest and curiosity to conduct “our own independent verification of our claims.”

The artificial intelligence system, according to Apple, has end-to-end encryption and immediately deletes the user’s request after completing the task, and also encourages the public to check the security “Private Cloud Computing‘, servers that will receive and process user requests to Apple Intelligence when an AI task is too complex to handle on the device.

Private Cloud Computing (PCC) is an intelligent system designed to privately process artificial intelligence in the cloud, powered by Apple Intelligence.

Following its announcement in June as part of its annual developer event, Apple gave select third-party auditors and security researchers early access to resources to verify PACincluding a virtual research environment.

Now Apple has announced that it is opening these resources to the public so that security and privacy researchers and people “with technical curiosity” can “conduct their own independent review,” according to its official security blog.

These individuals will be able to access the Private Cloud Security Guide, which includes technical details of PCC components and how they work, as well as source code for some components and a virtual research environment for security analysis directly from the Mac.

Participants can receive from 50,000 to a million dollarsdepending on the severity of the reported failures.
