"DARPA Picks 7 Small Businesses for AI Cyber Challenge"

As part of its Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cyber Challenge, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded seven companies $1 million each to develop a cyber reasoning system. To "redefine" AI security, the US research agency is supporting seven small businesses in automatically detecting and fixing software vulnerabilities at scale. Trail of Bits, one of the chosen companies, will not use Large Language Models (LLMs) in its solution, stating that they struggle with reasoning-intensive tasks such as identifying novel instances of vulnerabilities in source code or classifying them. The company adds that using LLMs would lead to high levels of inaccuracies, which can derail tasks like patch generation. This article continues to discuss DARPA's AI Cyber Challenge and its selection of small businesses to develop a cyber reasoning system.
