The discussion brought together perspectives from computer vision, generative AI, cybersecurity, trustworthy AI, and autonomous systems, exploring how future AI systems should be evaluated beyond traditional benchmarks. Panelists highlighted the importance of high-quality data, application-driven evaluation, trustworthiness, explainability, security, and real-world deployment, while emphasising that future AI should be human-centred, reliable, and socially beneficial.
The session concluded with a shared vision that the next generation of AI should be measured not only by benchmark performance, but also by its ability to earn trust and create meaningful impact in real-world applications.

Review Process & Preliminary Reviews

January 16, 2026

All submissions underwent a rigorous multi-stage review process. Each paper was first screened by the Program Chairs for formatting compliance and completeness, followed by automated checks for AI-generated content and potential reference hallucinations. Submissions passing these checks were then reviewed by at least three expert reviewers.

Preliminary review results, including reviewer comments, AI checking reports, and Program Chair feedback on formatting, were released to authors to allow for responses/rebuttals and revisions. This stage enabled authors to address major concerns and improve the overall quality of their papers.

Revised submissions were subsequently evaluated by Area Chairs, who carefully considered the reviewer feedback, numerical ratings, paper strengths and contributions, relevance to the workshop scope, and the authors' responses. Final decisions were made by the Program Chairs based on all reviewer and Area Chair recommendations, as well as the overall quality and fit of each paper.
