The Artificial Intelligence Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) is a
two-year competition and educational experience asking the best and
brightest in AI and cybersecurity to defend the software on which the world
relies. AIxCC will ask competitors to design novel AI systems to secure this
critical code and will award a cumulative $29.5 million in prizes to teams
with the best systems, including $7 million in prizes to small businesses to
empower entrepreneurial innovation during the initial phase of AIxCC.
AIxCC will bring together leading AI companies that will work with DARPA to
make their cutting-edge technology and expertise available for challenge
competitors. These companies will collaborate with DARPA to enable
competitors to develop state-of-the-art cybersecurity systems.
AIxCC is collaborating closely with the open-source community to guide teams
in creating AI systems capable of addressing vital cybersecurity issues,
such as the security of critical infrastructure and software supply chains.
Most software, and thus most of the code needing protection, is open-source
software, often developed by community-driven volunteers. Further,
open-source software comprises most of the code running on critical
infrastructure in the United States today, including the electricity and
telecommunications sectors.
AIxCC competitions will occur at one of the world’s top cybersecurity
conferences, DEF CON. The semifinal competition will be at DEF CON 2024, and
the final competition at DEF CON 2025, where the top prize will be $4
million.
