Google is expanding its Vulnerability Rewards Program (VRP) to include generative AI-specific attack scenarios to incentivize AI security research. The company is also expanding its open-source security work to make AI supply chain security information universally discoverable and verifiable. As part of the VRP expansion, Google is revising its bug categorization and reporting policies to address new concerns raised by generative AI. In addition, Google is launching the Secure AI Framework (SAIF) to help the industry build trustworthy applications and is working with the Open Source Security Foundation to protect the integrity of AI supply chains.
Generative AI raises new and different concerns than traditional digital security, such as the potential for unfair bias, model manipulation or misinterpretations of data (hallucinations).
Google Maps is introducing a number of AI-powered features, including an "Immersive View" for route planning, deeper Lens integration for local navigation, and more accurate real-time information.
The Immersive View feature, which provides street-level, turn-by-turn visualizations of planned routes, is now available on iOS and Android in 15 cities and is powered by neural radiance fields. The revamped AI-based Search with Live View feature allows users to tap the Lens icon in Maps and get directions to nearby resources in 50 additional cities. The map itself is also getting an upgrade, with more accurate rendering of buildings and clearer lane details along highway interchanges.
