Session 1:  Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) - A primer

Abstract: 


Generative AI and LLM are talked about everywhere now. We know it will have its influence in many areas. Isn’t it better to know what they mean, how they work, how we got here, and where they are going next. This will help us use this technology meaningfully, see its true value and ignore the hype, and overcome its limitation. Does it affect security and privacy? Of course, it does which will also be enumerated.

Session 2: Lies are the new truth: security risks of generative AI models

Abstract: 

Generative AI systems like ChatGPT are all the hype and are indeed very useful in enhancing workforce productivity. Reuters reports that the popular chatbot reached 100 million users in January, just two months after its launch. The app had 13 million daily unique visitors in January, making it the fastest-growing consumer app in history. ChatGPT uses Large Language Models and produces excellent content in the forms of conversational answers to the questions users may ask of it. However, there are ample security weaknesses which are being overlooked that can be catastrophic if not addressed. In this talk, I will demonstrate the security weaknesses and risks that users and businesses face and what can be done to address them. Making this technology safer to use will really empower the businesses in new and innovative ways.
