Scientific-Disciplinary Group

09/IINF-05 - Information Processing Systems

Description

The project aims to research innovative training techniques and to design new generative AI models based on Model-Context Protocols and self-learning agents to analyze complex real-world scenarios in real time, particularly those involving cybersecurity challenges. It will define effective strategies and perform semi-automated enforcement to reduce the attack surface, minimize risk, and mitigate ongoing attacks. The project will also focus on ensuring the explainability and robustness of the mechanisms used, in order to guarantee alignment with the principles of the Artificial Intelligence Act.
