> In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has got a lot of attention,=
 especially, for the success of deep learning to address problems that were=
 considered hard before. Big players such as Google, Amazon and Baidu are e=
xploring the application of AI in different markets like healthcare, FinTec=
h and autonomous vehicles. Along with AI, other technologies such as Intern=
et-of-Things (IoT) have boosted other areas like the case of Industry 4.0, =
where through the adoption of Industrial-IoT (IIoT) into the production cha=
in companies want to have a smarter manufacture that can be adapted to thei=
r customers=E2=80=99 needs. The accelerating adoption of new technologies b=
rings new challenges especially associated with the cybersecurity of the ap=
plications, where confidentiality, integrity and availability of data are i=
mportant. Security incident in IIoT impacts the safety properties since app=
lications interact physically with people or other assets. The intersection=
 of AI and cybersecurity can be seen as a two-fold relationship. On the one=
 hand, AI techniques can be adopted to improve the state-of-the-art of secu=
rity solutions, while on the other hand, cybersecurity can contribute to im=
prove the study of the security of AI algorithms through the exploration of=
 adversarial machine learning. This workshop aims to open a space where new=
 research ideas from different areas converge into the intersection of AI, =
IIoT, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and cybersecurity. We encourage research=
ers and experts in the fields of AI, embedded systems, CPS and cybersecurit=
y to take the opportunity to use this workshop for sharing their work and o=
pen the discussion of new ideas in this always-evolving topic.=20

When ever I hear the term "Artificial Intelligence" a number of thoughts pa=
sses through my brain that revolve around a few articles I've read that say=
 that the general intelligence of the human race is in decline. That specul=
ation along with the development of artificial intelligence makes me wonder=
 if this is the natural progression of evolution of intelligent species thr=
oughout the universe. That is, as a species evolves up the evolutionary tre=
e it gets smarter and smarter in order to survive. Survival of the fittest.=
 But when that species is at the top of the food chain and begins to be abl=
e to control it's environment, and create various means to have things done=
 for it, that reduces the need of the species to think in ways to insure it=
's survival and thus the evolutionary decline in intelligence. Now throw in=
 the development of artificial intelligence. I wonder if our first contact =
with another species in the universe will be with a species of totally or p=
artially artificially  intelligent beings.
.
If you want to see the results of this, see if you can find the movie " Idi=
ocracy"=20
It's not a great movie but it sure makes one think.
