Indirectly Managed Action by the ECCC (2026) · Enhancing the Security, Privacy and Robustness of AI Models and Systems (SecureAI)

Proposals are expected to contribute to one or more of the following: • Robust AI models and systems capable of resisting different classes of adversarial manipulation; • Innovative defence mechanisms for AI models and systems against new attack families; • Methodologies for detecting and mitigating attacks, such as data poisoning, backdoor exploitation and misclassification; • AI systems leveraging privacy-enhancing technologies that maintain data confidentiality and…

The increasing reliance on AI in cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, and decision-making processes raises concerns about the security and robustness of AI systems. As AI systems become more prevalent, they are increasingly targeted by adversarial attacks that manipulate inputs, compromise training data, or introduce hidden vulnerabilities. This topic aims to strengthen the resilience of AI systems and algorithms against various threats and attacks, such as enhancing…
