Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) across a wide range of sectors, focusing on recent advances, security challenges, and practical solutions in industry.

This Special Issue concentrates on AI-driven innovations that are reshaping industries and pushing the boundaries of what is theoretically and practically possible. We invite research papers that highlight the role of AI in developing new technologies, improving decision-making processes, and creating safer, smarter systems.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions from a variety of fields, including healthcare, autonomous systems, robotics, software design, and cybersecurity. The aim is to cover the latest trends, breakthrough safety solutions, and cross-industry solutions of AI and provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions of AI-powered technologies.

This Special Issue will serve as a platform for sharing new insights and research findings that bridge the gap between AI theory and industry practice. We aim to address the pressing safety concerns arising from the use of AI technologies while exploring how these innovations are impacting operational efficiency and decision-making in various industries.

While there is a growing body of literature on AI and its solutions, this Special Issue is intended to complement existing work by providing a focused discussion of emerging trends and safety implications. This Special Issue is an important resource for understanding how AI is being used in industry and what safety measures are needed to ensure safe and robust deployment. By compiling the latest research, we aim to provide new perspectives and comprehensive overviews that will enrich the existing academic and industry discourse.

We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to contribute original research articles and reviews. Submissions related to the following topics are especially welcome:

  • AI in industry applications (healthcare, finance, manufacturing, IoT, etc.);
  • Security measures for AI systems;
  • AI for autonomous systems (drones and autonomous vehicles);
  • AI in robotics;
  • AI and software design innovations;
  • AI-driven healthcare solutions;
  • Cybersecurity and AI;
  • Ethical AI and responsible deployment;
  • AI for operational efficiency and decision-making.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.
