(Digital Itla) Under OpenAI's Biosecurity Program, Pakistani researchers now have a golden opportunity to win a $50,000 prize. The application process and eligibility criteria have been revealed.
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has announced an excellent opportunity for Pakistani cybersecurity and biosecurity experts. To ensure the safety of its advanced AI models, the company has expanded its special 'Bio Bug Bounty Program', doubling the prize money to $50,000 USD (approximately 14 million Pakistani Rupees). OpenAI has officially included Pakistan in the list of eligible countries.
What is the Bug Bounty Program?
This is a private, specialized program aimed at protecting the company’s most powerful future models (such as GPT-5.6) from being misused for biological threats.
-
The Task: Selected experts must find a "Universal Jailbreak" within these models.
-
Definition: A universal jailbreak refers to a technique or prompt that permanently bypasses all biosecurity safety filters embedded in the model. Simply bypassing a single question will not qualify for the grand prize.
Key Terms and Conditions
This program is not meant for regular users. It is strictly open to individuals with verified experience in AI Red Teaming, cybersecurity, biosecurity, or related technical fields.
Application Process
-
Interested experts must visit the designated OpenAI portal to submit their name, country (Pakistan), affiliation, and details of relevant experience.
-
Applicants must have an active ChatGPT account prior to applying.
-
After reviewing applications, OpenAI will grant access to this confidential program exclusively to selected experts, who must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before starting.
-
The deadline for testing the older model (GPT-5.5) is July 27, 2026, after which only the flagship GPT-5.6 model will remain part of the program.
Prize Details
OpenAI stated that a full $50,000 prize will be awarded for identifying a successful universal jailbreak in GPT-5.5 or GPT-5.6. However, experts who identify partial security vulnerabilities may also receive smaller monetary rewards at the company's discretion.
