Review the author presentation policies and guidelines for ICAIC 2026. When submitting your camera-ready version, authors of accepted papers must acknowledge these policies and agree to comply.
ICAIC (International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity) looks forward to welcoming everyone to Winnipeg, Manitoba in October 2026. To help you better plan for your participation at the conference, please review the author presentation policies below.
Mandatory attendance policy for all presenting authors.
At the time of camera-ready submission, the following acknowledgment will be required:
"I commit to an author presenting the paper in-person at ICAIC 2026. If exceptional circumstances arise that prevent the authors from presenting the paper in person, I will notify ICAIC immediately. I acknowledge that if I do not notify ICAIC about exceptional circumstances, the paper will not be included in the proceedings."
Guidelines for using AI systems in producing ICAIC or ICAIC-related publications.
Papers that include text generated from a large-scale language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, are prohibited unless the produced text is explicitly presented as part of the paper's experimental analysis.
This policy does not prevent authors from using LLMs for editing or polishing text written by the authors themselves.
ICAIC 2026 follows the ICAIC policy that AI systems, including generative models such as ChatGPT, Bard, or DALL-E, do not meet the criteria for authorship of papers published by ICAIC.
As such, these systems also cannot be cited as sources in papers published by ICAIC.
Authors bear full responsibility for their content, including checking for plagiarism and ensuring the accuracy of all text.
Authors are fully responsible for all content in their submissions. Using AI-generated text without proper disclosure as experimental analysis constitutes a violation of ICAIC policies and may result in rejection or retraction of the paper.
Any allegation of plagiarism, whether due to the use of an LLM or any other reason, will be investigated thoroughly by ICAIC.
If plagiarism is substantiated after investigation, the following sanctions may be applied:
The work will be rejected from the conference or retracted from the proceedings if already published.
Notification to all the authors' institutions or employers, as well as any other relevant authorities.
Denial of service and access to all ICAIC-sponsored meetings and future conferences.
A quick guide to what is allowed and prohibited regarding AI usage in submissions.
Using LLMs to edit or polish author-written text
AI-generated text explicitly presented as experimental data
Using LLM-generated text as original paper content
Listing AI systems (ChatGPT, Bard, DALL-E) as authors
Using AI systems as cited sources in references
Presenting papers remotely instead of in-person
By submitting your paper, you acknowledge and agree to comply with all ICAIC 2026 author policies.
