AdvML-Frontiers × CoTMA: From Model Security to Compositional Threats in Multi-Agent AI Systems
AdvML-Frontiers × CoTMA @ COLM 2026 is a joint workshop uniting two communities—AdvML-Frontiers and CoTMA (Compositional Threats in Multi-Agent AI Systems)—to address emerging security and safety challenges in frontier models and multi-agent AI systems. It focuses on threats such as model provenance, supply-chain attacks, inter-agent exploitation, prompt injection, and reasoning-time interventions, fostering collaboration across adversarial ML, systems security, and agentic AI.
