Agenda
🕑: 09:00 AM
From Chat to Threat: Mitigating Social Engineering in the AI Era
Host: Kora Gwartney
Info: This topic explores the rapidly evolving landscape of social engineering attacks facilitated by large language models (LLMs) and the current defense mechanisms employed to counteract them. With the rise of AI-driven communication tools, the potential for exploitation through sophisticated, personalized, and scalable social engineering tactics has increased significantly.
This exploration, as a subject of academic research, seeks to understand the capabilities of LLMs in mimicking human behavior, manipulating trust, and crafting highly convincing phishing or manipulation attempts. It also delves into strategies for identifying, mitigating, and preventing such threats, emphasizing the need for robust human-AI interaction safeguards, public awareness, and enhanced security protocols.
By focusing on the intersection of advanced AI technologies and cybersecurity, this research aims to contribute to a safer digital ecosystem while fostering resilience against the misuse of conversational AI
