1) Issue Introduction: Background and Importance
As AI technologies increasingly impact critical areas like healthcare, finance, and defense, the need for safe and secure AI systems is more important than ever. These systems bring powerful benefits but also introduce significant risks, including data privacy breaches, adversarial attacks, and algorithmic biases. Such challenges threaten both individual users and society as a whole, raising concerns about the reliability and ethical alignment of AI technologies. Addressing these issues is essential to ensure that AI systems are not only innovative but also robust, transparent, and trustworthy.
2) Aim and Scope of the Special Issue
This special issue aims to bring together interdisciplinary research and reviews that address the core challenges of AI safety and security. We seek to foster a multidisciplinary conversation on both theoretical and practical aspects, covering emerging risks, best practices, and technological innovations that enhance the reliability of AI systems. Contributions from computer science, engineering and ethics are encouraged, and topics may range from novel algorithms to case studies and empirical research. This issue is open to submissions that explore both technical solutions and broader implications for society, emphasizing research that contributes to a safer, more secure AI landscape.
