Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently become pivotal in transforming industries, powering applications in natural language processing, computer vision, and multi-modal tasks. However, their training process and complex architectures have introduced critical security and privacy concerns. Specific threats, such as privacy of training datasets, prompt hacking, jailbreak attacks, and backdoor attacks, have emerged as challenges that threaten not only individual privacy but also the responsible and trustworthy deployment of these models. This Special Issue will provide a forum for exploring solutions to these pressing security and privacy issues specifically for large-scale AI models.
We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Privacy of training datasets in AI;
- Backdoor attacks and defenses in AI;
- Adversarial attacks and defenses in AI;
- Jailbreak attacks and defenses in large-scale AI models;
- Privacy-preserving training and inference in AI;
- Data leakage and model extraction in AI;
- End-to-end security in AI deployment.
