Bug Bounties for Algorithmic Harms Discovery and Disclosure

Explore the potential of bug bounty programs in addressing algorithmic harms through this 19-minute conference talk from USENIX Enigma 2022. Delve into research findings from the Algorithmic Justice League, examining how vulnerability disclosure mechanisms can be applied to discover, disclose, and redress algorithmic issues. Analyze the design levers and tradeoffs of various programs in the information security space, and investigate the recent trend of expanding bug bounties to socio-technical concerns. Gain insights into the applicability of these programs to algorithmic harms and learn what traditional bug bounty initiatives can glean from the emerging algorithmic harms community, all through a design justice perspective.
