How to get involved with the working groups

In this final episode of our AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) series, CRob and Jeff Diecks wrap-up the journey from DARPA's groundbreaking two-year competition to the exciting collaborative phase happening now. Discover how winning teams are taking their AI-powered vulnerability detection systems into the real world, finding actual bugs in projects like the Linux kernel and CUPS. Learn about the innovative OSS-CRS project that aims to create a standard infrastructure for mixing and matching the best components from different systems, and hear valuable lessons about how to responsibly introduce AI-generated security findings to open source maintainers. The competition may be over, but the real work—and collaboration—is just beginning.
