Google | AIxCC
Why Google and AIxCC
“We’ve been applying AI to security for things like detecting attackers on our internal networks to defending Gmail against spammers and phishing. During that time, we’ve seen the vast potential of the technology across privacy, safety, security and beyond. That’s why we’re teaming up with DARPA and
industry peers for its AI Cyber Challenge in support of further research on this incredibly important topic.”
– Royal Hansen, Vice President of Privacy, Safety, and Security Engineering, Google
Semifinal Competition – Collaborator Credits
Google presented $5k in Google Cloud credits for qualifying AIxCC teams. Google Cloud also had AI/ML models available via teams’ Google Cloud Platform accounts that can be used for various tasks throughout the Challenge, and that participants can build on. Google also provided additional incentive programs that teams may be eligible for, such as the Google for Startups Program (which covers Google Cloud costs up to $350,000 for AI startups) and other helpful resources for teams participating in the AI Cyber Challenge. Restrictions and conditions applied.
