The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has chosen seven companies for the small business track of the Artificial Intelligence Cyber Challenge.

The competing small businesses were evaluated by the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, DARPA said Monday.

The two-year challenge, also known as AIxCC, is focused on the discovery of AI-powered cyber reasoning tools for software security development.

The agency sought the expertise and support of Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI to launch AIxCC, which will hold its semifinals in Las Vegas.

The small business track participants are:

  • Shellphish
  • Trail of Bits
  • Zellic
  • Smart Information Flow Technologies
  • Net Shield
  • GrammaTech
  • PANACEA

The AIxCC Open Track for other enterprises is still open for registrations until April 30.

DARPA will be represented by Kathleen Fisher, director of the Information Innovation Office, at the Potomac Officers Club’s 5th Annual Artificial Intelligence Summit on March 21. Witness her speech in person by registering for the event.
