Call for Papers
Global security refers to the measures taken by states, international organizations, and other actors to ensure mutual survival, safety, and stability on a worldwide scale. This concept has evolved from a traditional military-focused approach to a more comprehensive framework addressing interconnected challenges in an increasingly globalized world.
Global Security is a transverse discipline aiming at gathering the common factors of security in the different domains, physical, cyber, economical, political, health, etc.
Artificial Intelligence has emerged as a pivotal tool in global security. From cybersecurity to military and counterterrorism applications to video analytics and fight against fraud and money laundering, AI offers unprecedented capabilities and challenges.
Topics
Contributions can deal with a diverse range of thematic major axes, each shedding light on key facets of AI and global security. The workshop will delve into topics such as:
AI in Cybersecurity: Exploring the latest advancements in AI-powered defense mechanisms, threat detection, and cyber resilience strategies.
AI in Military Applications: Examining the transformative impact of AI on military operations, from autonomous drones to predictive analytics in defense planning.
AI in Counterterrorism and Homeland Security: Analyzing the role of AI in thwarting terrorist threats, leveraging data analytics, and predictive modeling to enhance security measures.
AI Ethics, Governance and Global Security: Delving into the ethical considerations surrounding AI deployment in security contexts, and the implications for human rights and international law.
A specific focus will be put on LLM technologies, cognitive AI and neuro-symbolic solutions for security, including (but not limited to):
