Panel Discussion:The Present and Future of AI and Security (TBD)

DAY 1

17:50-
18:50

The finals of the AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) were held this summer at DEF CON 33 in Las Vegas, USA.

This competition is a two-year national project led by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and **ARPA-H (Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health), aiming for the convergence of AI and cybersecurity. Its goal is the automated defense of software supporting critical infrastructure. Participating teams developed AI-powered systems for vulnerability detection and remediation and competed to demonstrate their performance.

This panel discussion will feature David Brumley (Keynote Speaker), who contributed to the organization of the AIxCC, as well as members of the teams that placed highly in the finals. They will exchange views on the forefront and future of AI and cybersecurity.
