The 2nd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence, Cyber and Cyber-Physical Security (AI&CCPS) is a specialized academic event held alongside the 21st International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2026). This workshop is dedicated to advancing discussions and research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and security in both digital and physical domains. It provides a collaborative platform for experts to address the evolving challenges and opportunities presented by AI in cybersecurity.
Workshop Focus and Themes
The workshop centers on the application of artificial intelligence to a wide range of security challenges. Topics include vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, code analysis, intrusion and anomaly detection, malware analysis, and securing industrial control systems. The event also examines adversarial attacks and defenses, AI-driven biometrics, deepfakes, misinformation, and the use of AI as both a tool and a target in cybercrimes.
Participants will engage in discussions about the robustness and resilience of AI systems, the secure deployment of AI pipelines, and the development of trust and explainability in AI-driven security solutions. The workshop encourages the exploration of new threat models and the ethical implications of AI in security contexts.
Audience and Community Engagement
This event is designed for a diverse audience, including researchers, practitioners, academics, security professionals, engineers, and policy makers. It aims to foster collaboration between the AI and cybersecurity communities, bridging gaps and encouraging the exchange of ideas and research findings.
By addressing both technical and regulatory challenges, the workshop supports organizations in academia, industry, and government as they navigate the complexities of AI-driven security. The event also highlights the importance of responsible and ethical AI, especially in light of emerging regulations such as the European NIS2 directive.
Event Format and Objectives
The AI&CCPS workshop is organized in a research-focused format, featuring paper submissions, presentations, and interactive discussions. Held in-person in Linköping, Sweden, it provides a valuable opportunity for networking, community building, and thought leadership within the field of AI and cybersecurity.
With a strong emphasis on education and collaboration, the workshop seeks to advance the understanding of security challenges at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cyber-physical systems, while promoting robust, resilient, and ethical AI practices.
