The recordings and presentation slides from the recent AI & Security Webinar are now available.
The webinar was a collaborative event co-organized by five EU-funded research projects – ELASTIC, PREDICT-6G, HARPOCRATES, CONFIDENTIAL6G, and RIGOUROUS – with the support of FAITH, CUSTODES, and 6G-Cloud. It provided a joint platform for research projects to present work on the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity in the context of next-generation mobile networks, specifically 6G.
Focus of the Webinar
The sessions addressed challenges and solutions related to securing AI systems and networks in future mobile infrastructures, structured around three key topics:
-
Privacy-Preserving AI – recent advancements in methods that guarantee data privacy in distributed and federated AI.
-
AI for Network Resilience – approaches showing how AI can predict network behavior, detect vulnerabilities, and support system security in 6G networks.
-
Blockchain and AI in Network Management – the role of blockchain combined with AI in improving resource management and decision-making processes.
