In this episode, I interview Andrew Carney, the Program Manager for DARPA's AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC).
DARPA's AIxCC recently concluded at Black Hat, and it brought together the industry's leading experts on AI and Cybersecurity, focusing on securing software critical to all Americans.
Teams had to create novel AI systems to secure critical code, including software involved in critical infrastructure.
