Background and Motivation:

Over the past decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made significant advancements, leading to widespread discussion about the potential challenges posed by Generative AI and other advanced intelligent systems that surpass human comprehension. While AI has the potential to enhance productivity and success rates, there has been a notable increase in its malicious applications, including AI-based cyberattacks and manipulative technologies such as Deepfakes. These developments have sparked debates about existential threats to humanity, prompting researchers to explore effective regulatory measures and specific research and development (R&D) initiatives to prevent the uncontrolled use of AI. From a technical standpoint, research efforts have primarily focused on AI Safety and the intersection of intelligent systems with cybersecurity. Additionally, the relationship between humans and AI raises ethical considerations, bringing them into the same sphere of discussion. Consequently, there is a significant opportunity for interdisciplinary research that addresses AI safety, ethics, societal impacts, and regulatory solutions. Addressing these issues is an urgent priority, necessitating international collaboration among researchers to discuss ongoing work and future possibilities.
