The 1^st International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Information Security (AIIS) is a pioneering and forward-looking initiative spearheaded by the Centre for Research and Innovation (CRI) at Amritsar Group of Colleges (AGC). As digital transformation accelerates across every facet of life—be it education, industry, governance, or healthcare—Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cyber Security have emerged as the twin pillars underpinning the next wave of technological evolution. AIIS’26 is conceived as an interdisciplinary, collaborative platform that unites academia, industry, and government stakeholders to explore the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence innovations and information security.

AIIS’26 aims to serve as a global confluence of intellectual exchange, technological foresight, and real-world implementation. It is designed to convene leading researchers, data scientists, cybersecurity professionals, engineers, developers, academic scholars, policy-makers, legal experts, and student innovators from around the world. The objective is to facilitate in-depth discussions, foster knowledge exchange, and accelerate advancements in securing digital ecosystems through the power of artificial intelligence.

Recognizing the urgency to bridge research with deployment, the conference will offer a rich forum for presenting recent developments, identifying practical challenges, and proposing viable solutions in the overlapping domains of AI and cybersecurity. In doing so, AIIS’26 will elevate awareness around emerging threats, while also showcasing how AI can be harnessed as a defense mechanism in increasingly complex networked environments.

The thematic emphasis of the conference is grounded in the belief that AI, when developed responsibly and deployed securely, can redefine the global digital infrastructure. AIIS’26 will present a holistic exploration of this rapidly evolving field, covering a broad spectrum of critical topics including, but not limited to:

• Machine Learning Algorithms for Threat Detection and Mitigation
• AI-Driven Cybersecurity Solutions for Real-Time Threat Analysis
• Ethics, Accountability, and Privacy in AI-Secured Environments
• Secure and Trustworthy AI Systems in Critical Infrastructures
• Deep Learning in Intrusion Detection and Malware Classification
• Cyber Threat Intelligence and Automated Defense Strategies
• Quantum Computing and its Implications for Cryptography
• Internet of Things (IoT) Security in Smart and Connected Devices
• Cloud Security and Secure Virtualization Techniques
• Blockchain for Decentralized Identity and Transaction Security
• Data Privacy Laws, Frameworks, and Responsible AI Use
• Regulatory Compliance and AI Governance Mechanisms

Through invited keynote sessions, peer-reviewed paper presentations, industrial panel discussions, and technical workshops, the conference will deliver a comprehensive and immersive experience. It will not only promote the exchange of research insights but also encourage the formation of interdisciplinary collaborations and future research consortia.

Researchers, engineers, practitioners, and scientists from across continents are invited to submit their original, unpublished research contributions. By facilitating meaningful interactions among experts from diverse fields, AIIS’26 aspires to become a globally recognized platform for showcasing excellence in AI and cybersecurity. The broader mission is to inspire innovation, enable policy development, and advance global understanding of how emerging technologies can be used to build secure, intelligent, and inclusive digital ecosystems.

As we stand at the convergence of innovation and risk, AIIS’26 offers a timely and necessary initiative to shape the dialogue, development, and deployment of AI in cybersecurity—making it not only an academic milestone but also a driver of real-world impact.

The International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Information Security (AIIS) is dedicated to advancing technological excellence and global collaboration, bridging research innovation with real-world applications in AI and cybersecurity.”
