Summary

DARPA and ARPA-H ran the AI Cyber Challenge, a two-year competition to build systems that find and fix software vulnerabilities. This talk announces the winners, covers the challenges and lessons, and discusses what it would take to deploy the tools, which were to be open sourced after DEF CON. The speakers page lists first, second, and third prizes of $4 million, $3 million, and $1.5 million. The media-server file also names Jason Roos, who is not a speaker on the speakers page; the page lists Jim O'Neill instead.
