The Biden-Harris administration announced the launch of a two-year AI Cyber Challenge at the Black Hat conference, aiming to explore how artificial intelligence can protect America's most critical software. The challenge, led by DARPA, involves collaborations with Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI. Participants will tackle the challenges of computer code that keeps the internet and critical infrastructure running, with the opportunity to share nearly $20 million in prize money. The White House believes that AI holds significant potential for safeguarding critical computer code, while also ensuring its safety and reliability. This initiative is part of the Biden-Harris administration's push for AI innovation.
