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:20251001T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251001T130000 DTSTAMP:20260411T165138 CREATED:20250911T152207Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251001T160833Z UID:10000985-1759320000-1759323600@www.uncg.edu SUMMARY:Videogaming and Esports Studies Interest and Information Session DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\n\n\n\nPlease join us to learn more about our brand-new concentration\, Videogaming and Esports Studies! \nDuring our information sessions\, we will talk about the major\, how to add it\, how to complete a double major\, and more.

DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\n\n\n\nJoin the UNCG Philosophy Department for this next event in their Great Conversation series. \nDr. Alejandro Hortal\, from the Dept of Languages\, Literatures & Cultures\, facilitates this conversation exploring the ongoing debate over the nature of human rationality and the implications for understanding behavior. \nAre our decisions systematically flawed\, or are they contextually adaptive? Competing views from psychology\, economics\, and philosophy offer conflicting interpretations of what counts as rational behavior—and why it matters. \nThese “rationality wars” raise critical questions about autonomy\, error\, and the legitimacy of interventions designed to correct our choices. By examining how we label behavior as irrational\, this conversation invites reflection on the philosophical and scientific approaches to rationality. \nFree and open to the public. \nLocation: UNCG Foust Building\, Room 206 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nUNCG Philosophy Department\n \n336.334.5059 \nView Organizer Website \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/a-great-conversation-rationality-wars-how-irrational-are-we-really/ LOCATION:Foust 206\, 1010 Administration Dr.\, Greensboro\, North Carolina\, 27412\, United States CATEGORIES:College of Arts and Sciences,uncg_main ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.uncg.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/headshots_alejandrohortal_Susanne-Simons-xuks9t.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250919T144500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250919T201500 DTSTAMP:20260411T165138 CREATED:20250829T123857Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250919T155216Z UID:10000971-1758293100-1758312900@www.uncg.edu SUMMARY:UNCG Ethics Bowl 2025 DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\n\n\n\nSpartans\, we’ll have an Ethics Bowl on Friday\, Sept 19\, 2025 from 2:45-8:15pm\, and we would love for you to participate. \nAn Ethics Bowl is a competition where student teams present their reasoned answers to real-life ethical cases.
