Beyond the Core: Applied & Cross-Disciplinary Workshops

In addition to the core themes, we strongly encourage workshop proposals on applied AI in domain-specific areas where security, forensics, integrity, or trust are central. We aim to broaden the conversation across disciplines and welcome submissions intersecting AI/ML with:

  • AI in Materials Science — data provenance, IP protection, reproducibility
  • AI in Healthcare & Biomedical Systems — privacy-preserving ML, medical-data forensics
  • AI in Climate & Earth Sciences — satellite/sensor data integrity
  • AI in Autonomous Systems & Robotics — adversarial ML, cyber-physical security
  • Synthetic Data & Scientific Misconduct — deepfakes in scientific imagery, peer-review fraud
  • AI Safety & Red-Teaming — responsible disclosure for high-stakes domains

Proposals on other applied domains are welcome — provided they engage with the trust, integrity, or security dimensions of intelligent systems.
