Recent advances in computing and information technologies such as IoT, mobile Edge/Cloud computing, cyber- physical-social systems, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/ Deep Learning, etc., have paved way for creating next generation smart and intelligent systems and applications that can have transformative impact in our society while accelerating rapid scientific discoveries and innovations. Such newer technologies and paradigms are getting increasingly embedded in the computing platforms and networked information systems/infrastructures that form the digital foundation for our personal, organizational and social processes and activities. It is increasingly becoming critical that the trust, privacy and security issues in such digital environments are holistically addressed to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals as well as our society.
IEEE TPS-ISA is an international multidisciplinary forum for presentation of state-of-the art innovations, and discussion among academic, industrial researchers, and practitioners on issues related to trust, privacy and security in emerging smart and intelligent systems and applications.

IEEE TPS Panel: Towards Building Trustworthy and Responsible Agentic AI
Date / Time : Day 1, Nov. 12, 2025Agentic AI has emerged as the next significant phase in the rapidly evolving field of AI, offering tremendous opportunities to solve real-world problems and address societal challenges through the use of autonomous agents that can augment and/or replace human efforts. Agentic AI shows potential to streamline and solve large-scale system and application challenges, support organizational missions, automate manufacturing and supply chain, and augment autonomous vehicles, among others. At the same time, as with the development of AI in general, agentic AI poses increasing issues of security, privacy, and trust, along with ethical and governance challenges.
This panel will discuss the challenges and R&D opportunities that need to be carefully addressed to establish a trustworthy and responsible Agentic AI ecosystem, which is critical for uplifting our society. Some of the key questions for discussion include:

IEEE CogMI Panel: From LLMs and Agentic AI to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) to Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) – the Paths, The Prospects, and the Pitfalls
Date / Time : Day 2, Nov. 13, 2025The global race for AI dominance is here -- fueled by billions of dollars pumped into AI innovations by big tech companies and at the national level. This is fast outpacing the individual, organizational, and societal ability to absorb technologies for more controlled use to augment their capabilities, as well as the ability of governments and society to create appropriate oversight and governance. The academia that often conducts research unconstrained by business bottom lines and driven by curiosity and public impact is being left behind with ever-declining resources and capabilities to contribute to this AI race. Many AI experts have already opined about the potential dire consequences of the fast-paced development of AGI, leading to ASI. Geoffrey Hinton warns that there is a “10-20% chance that AI wipes out humans.” At least, as he further indicates, AI will make a “few people much richer and most people much poorer.”
This panel will discuss the paths, the prospects, and the pitfalls the our accelerated advances in AI towards ASI.

IEEE CIC Panel: Device, Data and Collaboration – the Emerging Challenges in Internet of “Intelligent” Things
Date / Time : Day 3, Nov. 14, 2025The exponential growth of devices and increasing hyperconnectivity is creating explosive growth in data and potential for data-driven collaborations. Spurred by recent AI advances, similar growth in the Internet of “intelligent” Things has the potential to create socially-intelligent, collaborative ecosystems of systems and applications. Various domains such as manufacturing, supply chain, healthcare ecosystems, autonomous vehicular systems, and digital twin of complex systems can benefit significantly from ubiquitous and interconnected devices, data systems, and smart applications.
This panel will discuss the current and emerging landscape of Internet-enabled, AI-powered and data-driven collaborative ecosystems, as well as the growing challenges and opportunities that it brings.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion are central to the goals of the IEEE Computer Society and all of its conferences. Equity at its heart is about removing barriers, biases, and obstacles that impede equal access and opportunity to succeed. Diversity is fundamentally about valuing human differences and recognizing diverse talents. Inclusion is the active engagement of Diversity and Equity.
A goal of the IEEE Computer Society is to foster an environment in which all individuals are entitled to participate in any IEEE Computer Society activity free of discrimination. For this reason, the IEEE Computer Society is firmly committed to team compositions in all sponsored activities, including but not limited to, technical committees, steering committees, conference organizations, standards committees, and ad hoc committees that display Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
IEEE Computer Society meetings, conferences and workshops must provide a welcoming, open and safe environment, that embraces the value of every person, regardless of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, religion, national origin, ancestry, or disability. All individuals are entitled to participate in any IEEE Computer Society activity free of discrimination, including harassment based on any of the above factors.
IEEE believes that science, technology, and engineering are fundamental human activities, for which openness, international collaboration, and the free flow of talent and ideas are essential. Its meetings, conferences, and other events seek to enable engaging, thought provoking conversations that support IEEE’s core mission of advancing technology for humanity. Accordingly, IEEE is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment to all participants, including staff and vendors, at IEEE-related events.
IEEE has no tolerance for discrimination, harassment, or bullying in any form at IEEE-related events. All participants have the right to pursue shared interests without harassment or discrimination in an environment that supports diversity and inclusion. Participants are expected to adhere to these principles and respect the rights of others.
IEEE seeks to provide a secure environment at its events. Participants should report any behavior inconsistent with the principles outlined here, to on site staff, security or venue personnel, or to eventconduct@ieee.org
