Description
Build the future of Agents-powered US Government @ Washington DC on Nov 15th, 2024.
Join us for an immersive hackathon where innovators, engineers, and visionaries will develop the next generation of AI agents tailored to defense and government applications. This event will challenge participants to build autonomous systems that solve critical national and global issues in real-time.
$50k in cash prizes sponsored by George Mason University
1st Place — $25k

All participants will receive $500 in Modal Labs credits and $50 in Together AI credits to support their project development.
Some topics for inspiration (feel free to formulate your own ideas):
- AI-Driven Cyber Defense Agents. Develop autonomous AI agents that actively detect, respond to, and mitigate cyber threats in real-time. The agents should be capable of learning from each attack, adjusting their defense strategies, and autonomously deploying security patches or rerouting traffic to safeguard networks.
- Disaster Response Coordination Agents. Build AI agents that autonomously manage resources during disaster response scenarios, such as allocating rescue teams, directing logistics, or optimizing evacuation routes. The agents should make decisions in real time to adapt to changing conditions on the ground.
- Autonomous Adversarial Defensive and/or Offensive Agents. Develop agents that can actively defend AI models against adversarial attacks, or develop agents that can make offensive adversarial attacks against AI models. Defensive agents would monitor an AI model's inputs and outputs, detect anomalies, and take corrective actions autonomously to maintain the integrity of critical systems.
- OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) Agents for Strategic Indications and Warnings. Create agents that autonomously monitor open-source data — social media, news, etc. — to identify impending political transitions in, and/or military aggression by, Russia, China, Iran, and/or North Korea.
