AI-CyberSec 2021- 1st International Workshop on
Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Security
Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently driving transformations in many fields, and
cybersecurity is no exception. With recent advances in AI, security practitioners have
applied AI to improve the security posture of networks, systems, and devices with
significant success. However, along with the benefits of AI, new concerns are
emerging; including safety & ethics, privacy & data protection, and data quality and
adversarial attacks that exploit the vulnerabilities of AI systems. In addition, AI can be
used to create more sophisticated attacks triggering an AI arms race between
defenders and attackers. In order to effectively use AI for cybersecurity and to
address these challenges, novel ideas and effective approaches must be explored.

This volume consists of the papers that were presented at the 1st International
Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Security 1, co-located with the 41st
SGAI International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI-2021) on December 14th,
2021. The workshop focused on three research areas that intersect with AI and
Security:

      1. AI for cybersecurity - studies that cover effective use of AI techniques to
         improve the security of systems and networks
      2. Malicious use of AI - studies that cover how advances in AI lead to new types
         of threats, expanding the existing threat landscape
      3. Cybersecurity for AI - studies that cover vulnerabilities of AI-enabled systems
         and how to protect AI-enabled systems from potential threats
On this occasion, 22 submissions were received, of which 9 were accepted for
presentation at the workshop and inclusion in the proceedings. Each submission was
reviewed by two or more subject matter experts.
