pwnAI - Security Research Initiative

Program Overview and Policy

The pwnAI Security Research Initiative is here to support independent research into breaking and securing AI agents and their broader ecosystem. This program invites researchers to submit creative, boundary-pushing proposals that will help build a safer future for Agentic AI. We are especially interested in research demonstrating new end-to-end attacks or highlighting new TTPs.

Expectations

• Research proposals are reviewed by the program review board on a periodic basis.
• Selected researchers will receive public recognition for their research through the Zenity Labs blog and will also receive a financial honorarium of $2,000.
• The researcher is expected to finish the research and produce a blog within 1 month.
• The researcher maintains ownership of their research, and is free to submit bounties or talks (after the 14 day period).
• All research must follow good-faith security practices and responsible disclosure principles.
