With Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI dominating headlines, this has introduced a range of societal risks.

Join Emma, an AI researcher and consultant for the UK Home Office, for a focused, evidence-based exploration of the dark side of the AI revolution.

###

**This talk will cover**
1\. Cutting Through the Hype: We will move beyond the general fear to examine the specific\, measurable harms LLMs are currently causing across broader society\, including the proliferation of sophisticated cybercrime\, the scaling of misinformation campaigns\, and the use of generative tools to facilitate and escalate gender\-based violence and child exploitation\.

2\. An overview at the systemic risks introduced by AI\, such as amplified algorithmic bias\, labor market disruption\, and the rapid erosion of digital trust\.

3\. The solution landscape\. We'll examine the practical steps and defence strategies available across the professional spectrum\.

* **For Executives:** Governance frameworks, regulatory compliance, and responsible procurement policies.
* **For Product Managers:** Ethics-by-design, risk assessments, and harm mitigation strategies.
* **For Developers:** Prompt engineering for safety, red-teaming, and model fine-tuning for robustness.
