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. \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. \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. \nFree and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nAshby Dialogues\n \nView Organizer Website \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Add to calendar \n\n\n\n \n Google Calendar \n \n\n \n iCalendar \n \n\n \n Outlook 365 \n \n\n \n Outlook Live URL:https://www.uncg.edu/event/auditing-large-language-model-ecosystems-from-model-outputs-to-agentic-system-deployment/ LOCATION:Petty Building – Room 219\, 317 College Ave\, Greensboro\, North Carolina\, 27412\, United States CATEGORIES:Ashby Dialogue Series,uncg_main ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.uncg.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/TLC-copy_Ignacio-Lopez-1-P5fq2e.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251001T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251001T200000 DTSTAMP:20260508T152642 CREATED:20250901T145210Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251001T160834Z UID:10000974-1759341600-1759348800@www.uncg.edu SUMMARY:Harriet Elliott Keynote Event | The Power of Prose: Storytelling as the Ultimate Foundation DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\n\n\n\nJoin the College of Arts & Sciences for the fall keynote event in this year’s annual Harriet Elliott Lecture Series\, hosted by Communication Studies: \nGuest Speaker: Jacoby Cochran – City Cast Chicago (https://chicago.citycast.fm/about-us) \nDJs/Hosts: Prez Parks\, James Lone\, Patrick Kilmartin – In the Beat of the Night  \nPart keynote lecture\, part hip hop show: Jacoby Cochran and In the Beat of the Night help us tell better stories by sharing their own.  \nJacoby Cochran is the Senior Podcast Host for the award-winning City Cast Chicago.
