International Workshop on Secure, Trustworthy, and Robust AI

The increasing use of AI systems creates concerns about security, privacy and trust. The security risks for AI systems, the privacy implications stemming from their use, and the requirements for (human-to-machine and machine-to-machine) trust establishment and management are highly critical topics requiring concrete methodologies and solutions. The wide adoption of AI systems necessitates urgent advancements in terms of AI security, trustworthiness, and robustness. AI systems should be resilient to risks arising from their inherent limitations and protected against malicious actions that could compromise security, leading to harmful or undesirable outcomes. The International Workshop on Secure, Trustworthy, and Robust AI (STRAI 2025) seeks to comprehensively explore the core principles of AI trustworthiness under an overarching umbrella from multiple perspectives, including:

Policy and Governance – Addressing regulatory, ethical, and governance frameworks for accountable AI systems
Ethics – Investigating responsible AI practices, fairness, and societal impacts
Human-AI Collaboration – Enhancing human trust, oversight, and interaction in AI systems
Technology and Techniques – Developing robust, secure, and resilient AI systems
Security and Privacy – Protecting AI systems against adversarial attacks, data poisoning, and privacy breaches
Resilience and Robustness – Ensuring AI systems are reliable, safe, and adaptable to evolving threats
The workshop promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, examines real-world applications, and engages with policy and regulatory discussions. It invites contributions that provide innovative solutions and insights into the complex and evolving challenges of AI trustworthiness.
