The Global AI Defense Challenge 2025 Launched to Fight Bad AI with Good AI

  • The competition features three tracks covering AI security technologies on images, videos, and audio, with a total prize pool exceeding $120,000 USD.

The Global AI Defense Challenge 2025, co-hosted by the China Society of Image and Graphics, the Cloud Security Alliance Greater China Region, and Ant Group, was launched on July 10, as part of the AI Innovation Competitions at the 2025 INCLUSION·Conference on the Bund.

With the rapid development of large models, AI technologies and applications are increasingly integrated into sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and user interactions with various gadgets and terminals. This evolution raises heightened risk of deepfake-related identity attacks, becoming a growing concern for security technology experts.

To address this global challenge and support the sustainable and reliable development of the AI industry, the Global AI Defense Challenge was hosted to facilitate collaboration between the academic and industry communities. In 2024, the competition attracted over 3,200 participants from more than 2,700 teams across 18 countries and regions worldwide.

This year's competition focuses on securing the authentication of digital identities during AI-powered interactive processes. Recognizing the evolving nature of security risks, the competition adopts closed-loop attack and defense scenarios rather than traditional static patterns. AI developers, security experts, white-hat hackers and other participants are invited to compete in the following tracks:

Track 1: Image All-Factor Interactive Authentication – Generation

Track 1: Image All-Factor Interactive Authentication – Detection

Track 2: AI Video Intelligent Interactive Authentication – Generation

Track 2: AI Video Intelligent Interactive Authentication – Detection

Track 3: Pan-terminal Intelligent Speech Interactive Authentication - Generation

Track 3: Pan-terminal Intelligent Speech Interactive Authentication – Detection

The competition is organized by Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Ant Security and AI Lab, Ant Consumer Finance, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Zhejiang University, and other academic and research institutions.

Ma Huimin, co-chair of the Organizing Committee of The Global AI Defense Challenge 2025 and Vice President and Secretary General of the China Society of Image and Graphics, emphasized, “As the rapid development of AI technologies unfolds, AI forgery techniques are advancing just as swiftly, turning this into an ever-escalating 'arms race.' Therefore, enhancing AI defense capabilities and raising public awareness about AI security is urgently needed—this is the fundamental goal of hosting this competition."

Shao Xiaodong, co-chair of the Organizing Committee of The Global AI Defense Challenge 2025 and Vice President of Ant Group, added, “We have designed the competition to address scenarios where AI security on digital identities is crucial, such as in daily life services, financial services, and healthcare. Through this competition, we are committed to advancing AI security technologies and contributing to a more trustworthy AI ecosystem."
