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:African-American Discoveries in India: Who Mapped the Global Black Diaspora?
DESCRIPTION:This presentation in the Ashby Dialogues Series explores how African American thinkers uncovered the history of African-descended peoples in Asia\, especially India\, and conceptualized the study of Blackness and race as global phenomena. \n\n\n\nPresented by Shobana Shankar\, a professor of history at Stony Brook\, State University of New York.
