SUMMARY:Auditing Large Language Model Ecosystems: From Model Outputs to Agentic System Deployment
DESCRIPTION:The College of Arts & Sciences’ Ashby Dialogues presents this lecture by Dr. Tianlong Chen\, a computer science professor from UNC Chapel-Hill. \n\n\n\nThe 2025-26 Ashby Dialogues explores the theme\, “Rethinking the Algorithm: AI and the Human Experience.” \n\n\n\nAbout this presentation: Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly evolving from monolithic entities into complex\, interactive ecosystems. While previous research has focused on input-level vulnerabilities\, such as adversarial prompts and jailbreaking\, a new frontier of pragmatic\, system-level risks has emerged.  \n\n\n\nThis presentation shifts the focus from input manipulation to auditing the security and governance of the entire operational stack of LLM agent development. We dissect novel threat aspects that target the ecosystem itself\, including knowledge base poisoning\, covert prompt injection in agent societies\, economic resource exhaustion\, and hardware faults. We then survey a new generation of defenses designed to address these unique challenges\, ranging from proactive output protection to decentralized monitoring.  \n\n\n\nTogether\, these topics provide a blueprint for pragmatic safety\, covering both the immediate securing of LLM agentic systems and the principles for their long-term management. Attendees will leave with a comprehensive framework for this next generation of trustworthy AI. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public.

He has used his MA in Communication from Syracuse University to translate his passion for connecting people into a lucrative career designing podcasts and newsletters to promote Chicago events\, businesses\, and creative partnerships. A celebrated storyteller and national champion public speaker\, Jacoby received the 2024 Uplifting Voices Award at the 29th Annual Chicago Community Media Awards.   \n\n\n\nWith music and conversation support from In the Beat of the Night\, join us for a unique night of storytelling. \n\n\n\nPrez\, J Lone\, and Kilmatic make up the backbone of In the Beat of the Night. Starting in 2006 as a hip-hop show on UNCG’s own WUAG\, ITBOTN has grown from Greensboro’s longest-running radio show into a live platform to support local musicians and share their stories. Using their skills as both DJs and master interviewers\, the ITBOTN crew commits to showcasing local talent – and keeping us entertained along the way.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDon’t forget to also join us for the Workshop on October 2! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPlease contact David Errera at dserrera@uncg.edu or 336.334.5297 at least one week prior to the event to request disability accommodations.
