Deadline: 7 November 2024
The HMGCC Co-Creation has launched its Challenge called Cutting Eavesdropping Risks Using AI to understand the threat of third parties using artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) to cancel out randomised and unwanted noise.
UK government offices often host sensitive conversations, and it is important to ensure that these are not under threat from accidental or nefarious eavesdropping attempts.
These risks are continually assessed due to the high pace of change in technology. In its latest challenge, HMGCC Co-Creation wants to hear from organisations developing artificial intelligence/machine learning techniques that provide advanced noise cancellation to help them understand what is now possible and to test in a government office scenario.
Funding Information
- Budget up to £60,000
- Project duration 12 weeks
Eligibility Criteria
- This challenge is open to sole innovators, industry, academic and research organisations of all types and sizes. There is no requirement for security clearances.
- Solution providers or direct collaboration from countries listed by the UK government under trade sanctions and/or arms embargoes, are not eligible for HMGCC Co-Creation challenges.
Evaluation Criteria
- All proposals, regardless of the application route, will be assessed by the HMGCC Co-Creation team. Proposals will be scored 1–5 on the following criteria:
- Scope: Does the proposal fit within the challenge scope, taking into consideration cost and benefit?
- Innovation: Is the technical solution credible, will it create new knowledge and IP, or use existing IP?
- Deliverables: Will the proposal deliver a full or partial solution, if a partial solution, are there collaborations identified?
- Timescale: Will the proposal deliver a minimum viable product within the project duration?
- Budget: Are the project finances within the competition scope?
- Team: Are the organisation/delivery team credible in this technical area?
