"White House Launches AI Cyber Challenge to Make Software More Secure"

The Biden-Harris Administration has launched a two-year competition to protect the most critical software in the US using Artificial Intelligence (AI). The AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) calls on competitors across the US to identify and fix software vulnerabilities using AI. This challenge is being led by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It will involve collaboration with several top AI companies, including Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI, who are lending their expertise and making their advanced technology available for this competition. This competition, which will offer nearly $20 million in prizes, will spur the development of new technologies to strengthen computer code security, one of the most pressing challenges in cybersecurity. AIxCC will demonstrate the potential benefits of AI for securing software used throughout the Internet and society, from the electric grids powering the US to transportation systems. This article continues to discuss the goals and structure of the AIxCC.
