Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent literature reviews have pointed out the intersection of Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) as the new “nexus” of our digital experience. The same way “web browsers” and “smart phones” have been our main interfaces, AI coupled with IoT, or AIoT, will soon become our new locus. This Special Issue will showcase contributions that address this intersection; we welcome articles throughout the spectrum of academic research: literature reviews, conceptual frameworks, methodological notes, empirical research, standards development, and implementation reviews. Cross-sectors and sector-specific studies (e.g., energy, healthcare, cities, etc.) are welcomed. Nevertheless, conclusions should attempt to generalize to various or all sectors, addressing at least one or two major gaps identified by recent reviews, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Enterprise cybersecurity prevention within the AIoT sphere;
- Cybersecurity incident response automation for AIoT end-users;
- Humans and ethics in the loop for the regulatory compliance of AIoT systems;
- Design methods for ensuring explainable AIoT implementations;
- Small-footprint machine learning algorithms for AIoT applications;
- Large language model consumption in small AIoT devices;
- Algorithmic safety and privacy control in AIoT environments;
- App stores and global AIoT entrepreneurial ecosystems;
- National development strategies for cybersecurity and AIoT ecosystems.
