The Summer School on AI and Cybersecurity, held at Technische Universität Wien in the heart of Vienna, successfully concluded its five-day program that gathered leading experts, researchers, and students at the forefront of cutting-edge research and practical applications.

Throughout the event, participants engaged in an in-depth exploration of how artificial intelligence is transforming the field of cybersecurity, addressing critical issues related to security, reliability, and trust in AI systems.

The program emphasized the following core themes:

• Gaining a comprehensive understanding of AI mechanisms to fully leverage its potential while avoiding common pitfalls.

• Identifying vulnerabilities and risks including attacks, biases, manipulations, and hidden threats.

• Discussing regulatory measures to prevent misuse and ensure ethical deployment of AI technologies.

• Establishing best practices to prevent security failures and enhance the reliability and safety of AI systems.

A key highlight of the event was the active participation of the EU-funded RobustifAI project, which is pioneering adaptive AI technologies for human cyber-physical systems (HCPS) — a domain critical to robotics, automotive, healthcare, and industrial automation. By integrating technical robustness with adaptability, RobustifAI is setting new benchmarks for secure and high-performance AI applications.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the organizers, speakers, and all participants for their valuable contributions and insightful discussions that enriched the event.
