The AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC), run by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), officially awarded seven semifinalists $2m each at DEFCON 32 where the agency hosted an immersive experience to underscore the real-world stakes of the competition.
The competition aims to find a cyber reasoning system to successfully find and fix vulnerabilities in open-source software.
Speaking to Infosecurity ahead of DEFCON, DARPA's information innovation office director Kathleen Fisher, said, “We’re building a city at DEFCON to be a place to show the results as they are evolving. The other purpose in building the city as the venue for showing the results is to give people who attend the visceral experience of a cyber-attack on the critical infrastructure of a city.”
