HackerOne Proposes Good Faith AI Research Safe Harbor
HackerOne this week proposed a Good Faith AI Research Safe Harbor to extend legal protections to third‑party researchers testing AI systems, the company told CyberScoop. The framework builds on the DOJ's 2022 good-faith researcher policy and HackerOne's Gold Standard Safe Harbor, letting participating companies advertise protections and commit to refrain from legal action and support researchers facing third‑party claims. It aims to encourage broader independent AI testing.
