Start in 10 days: the intellectual confrontation of the decade is already close.
The start of the two-year AIxCC competition, organized by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), has been postponed until December 11. Originally scheduled for December 1, this competition is expected to attract the world's leading experts in computer science, artificial intelligence, software development, and many others.
The goal of AIxCC participants is to create a new generation of cybersecurity tools that combine advances in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence to protect critical infrastructure in the United States.
Perri Adams, the project manager, announced the schedule change on Wednesday, saying the delayed launch will allow for more details about AIxCC's technical details and updates.
It is expected that the new event will use unique participant rating systems, as well as tightly integrated products from Anthropic, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI for the most productive work.
In addition to open enrollment, DARPA will fund the participation of up to seven small businesses under the U.S. Government's Small Business Innovation Research Foundation (SBIR) program. Applications for open enrollment will be accepted until April 30.
The top 20 teams will advance to the semifinals, where five of them will receive $2 million each. The three final finalists will receive prizes worth $ 1.5, $ 3 and $ 4 million, respectively.
The AI Cyber Challenge was created to increase the resilience of critical infrastructure in the United States — a sector that DARPA says seriously needs mechanisms that can provide scalable system security. Adams first announced this competition at the Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas in August of this year.
