Research Topics

The Cyber-AI 2026 Conference is the premier event uniting researchers, professionals, and innovators from academia and industry to explore cutting-edge advancements in cybersecurity and AI. This four-day conference, held at the Romanian-American University in Bucharest, the picturesque capital city of Romania, focused on providing practical solutions and fostering collaborative discussions on two key themes: how AI is revolutionizing cybersecurity and how secure AI systems are being built to withstand evolving threats. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with thought leaders, participate in interactive sessions, and network with global experts. From novel AI-driven threat detection systems to ethical challenges in AI governance, the event promises an in-depth look at the intersection of these transformative fields.

We warmly invite you to take advantage of this exceptional opportunity to help shape the future of secure, intelligent systems. We welcome contributions and interest in the following areas, though we are open to topics beyond this list:

AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Federated Learning and Creativity

Workshops

Call for Workshop Proposals

Cyber-AI will host a series of workshops and is also inviting new workshop proposals. The purpose of the workshops is to emphasize current and emerging topics of particular interest to the community.

Proposal Format

Each workshop proposal must include (up to four pages, in PDF format):

  • Title of the workshop.
  • Workshop organizers (name, affiliation and short biography).
  • Scope and topics of the workshop.
  • Rationale:
    • Why the workshop is related to Cyber-AI.
    • Why the topic is important.
    • Why the workshop may attract a significant number of attendees.
  • Workshop details:
    • A draft call for papers (including organizers, program committee, and steering committee if any). Organizers are expected to be fully committed and physically present at the workshop.
    • Workshop tentative schedule (number of expected papers, duration full/half day, format talks/posters, etc.). We encourage full-day events that demonstrate the interest of the community in the proposed topic and guarantee the commitment of the organizers. Half-day proposals are also welcome but expected to provide a rationale for the proposed duration.
    • Names of potential participants and invited speakers (if any).
  • Workshop history: if there are past workshops, the history of the workshop.
