Call for Papers: PALS 2027
1st International Workshop on Privacy, AI, and Legal Security
Valletta, Malta | February 22–24, 2027
https://icissp.scitevents.org/PALS.aspx

In conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Information Systems
Security and Privacy (ICISSP 2027).

================================================================================

OVERVIEW & SCOPE

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape, empowering
attackers and defenders alike. At the same time, regulators worldwide are
implementing an evolving legal framework governing its development and
deployment (including data protection laws, the EU AI Act, cybersecurity
regulations, and criminal law provisions).

The 1st International Workshop on Privacy, AI, and Legal Security (PALS 2027)
aims to bridge the gap between technical research and legal frameworks by
bringing together researchers from computer science and law to address privacy,
AI, and security as interdependent dimensions of the same challenge.

The workshop especially welcomes interdisciplinary contributions co-authored
by technical and legal researchers.
