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.

SUMMARY:AI\, Work\, and Meaning
DESCRIPTION:The College of Arts & Sciences’ Ashby Dialogues presents this lecture by Professor Zach Wrublewski of UNCG’s Philosophy Department. \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: This session will focus on the ethical ramifications of the ubiquitous usage of AI\, and explore the ways in which the large-scale implementation and adoption of AI will alter important aspects of everyday human experience.  \n\n\n\nWrublewski’s talk will outline some of the important ethical features of human experience that are likely to be affected by widespread AI use\, such as autonomy and the search for meaning\, and investigate the ways in which they might be affected. The conversation will revolve around inquiries into the relevant features of human experience\, the nature of humanity\, and the shared futures we want to encourage or avoid. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public.  \n\n\n\nLocation: UNCG’s School of Education Building | Room 106 | 1300 Spring Garden Street
