Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity are two of the most prominent topics nowadays due to rapid advancements in AI, particularly in Large Language Models (LLMs), and the growing number of cyberattacks and their impact. Additionally, emerging directives, regulations, and legislative acts are driving these topics beyond academia into industry and society. While cybersecurity has been a prolific field for the application of AI techniques, it is evident that AI is increasingly becoming a prime target of malicious activities and also being misused as an attacking agent or facilitator.

The International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence, Cyber and Cyber-Physical Security (AI&CCPSM; https://2025.ares-conference.eu/program/aiccps/) aims to explore both the expanding role of AI in addressing security challenges in digital and physical systems, and the need to address the robustness and resilience of AI techniques. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from both communities – cybersecurity and artificial intelligence – to discuss problems and solutions on the intersection of these fields.

AI&CCPS is a workshop of the 20th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2025).
