This session is dedicated to exploring the transformative impact and challenges brought by artificial intelligence to the field of multimedia security and forensics. Key topics will focus on: 1) Intelligent Watermarking: novel deep learning-based digital watermarking schemes for enhanced robustness and imperceptibility; 2) Multimedia Content Forensics: advanced AI-powered techniques for deepfake detection, image/video manipulation localization, and provenance analysis; 3) AI Model Security: addressing security vulnerabilities in multimedia systems, including adversarial attacks, backdoor attacks, and corresponding defense mechanisms to ensure the trustworthiness of AI.

The topics aim to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue between multimedia security and AI communities, addressing emerging threats to data integrity and copyright protection in the intelligent age.

Related topics:
• Multimedia Forensics;
• Digital Watermarking;
• Deepfake Detection;
• Adversarial Examples;
• Content Provenance;
• AIGC Security;
• Model Copyright Protection;
• Robust Learning; etc.

The manuscript should be submitted via the submission link (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsip2026), or to  icsip2016@vip.163.com before the submission deadline (February 5, 2026).
