Ken will introduce the concept of AI poisoning and explain how artificial intelligence systems can be manipulated by intentionally feeding them misleading or harmful data. Attendees will learn how AI models rely on the information they are trained on, and how even small amounts of corrupted data can influence outcomes, create blind spots, or cause systems to make incorrect decisions.

He will also explore the real-world impact of poisoned AI, from subtle inaccuracies to serious security and safety concerns. Participants will gain a practical understanding of why protecting data quality, monitoring AI behavior, and validating results are essential steps for organizations that rely on intelligent systems.
