General Description

The 16th Conference on Game Theory and AI for Security (GameSec-25) will take place from October 13-15 2025 in Athens, Greece.

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, game theory, and security technologies, the resilience and trustworthiness of modern systems is more critical than ever. The 2025 Conference on Game Theory and AI for Security focuses on leveraging strategic decision-making, adversarial reasoning, and computational intelligence to address security challenges in complex and dynamic environments.

The conference invites novel, high-quality theoretical and empirical contributions that apply game theory, AI, and related methodologies to security, privacy, trust, and fairness in emerging systems. The goal is to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government to explore interdisciplinary connections between game theory, reinforcement learning, adversarial machine learning, mechanism design, risk assessment, behavioral modeling, and cybersecurity. Through rigorous and practically relevant analytical methods, the conference aims to advance the understanding and application of AI-driven strategies for securing critical infrastructures and emerging technologies.
