About the event

Free Talk: A Skeptic's Guide to Mythbusting AI
This talk is on how Large Language Models (LLMs) work, why they fail, and how you can trick them into exposing their weaknesses.

About this Event

This talk is free and open to the public. No ticket is required, but we would appreciate it if attendees would register in advance.


Virtually every product and service advertised today claims some use of “AI,” but what is AI, how does it work, and how can it be “de-mythed”? Jim Harris, a Distinguished Engineer and accredited Model Risk Officer, provides a Skeptic’s take on how Large Language Models (LLMs) work, why they fail, and how you can trick them into exposing their weaknesses.


Jim Harris is a board member of NCAS. He graduated in 1994 from North Carolina State University with a BS in Physics. Since that time, he has worked as a hardware engineer for IBM and Silicon Image, a Special Agent for the FBI, a cybersecurity consultant, a tech startup executive, and a Distinguished Engineer and Model Risk Officer for Capital One Financial.
