The Darker Side of AI - Lunch & Learn

DMC Technology Group is proud to partner with the Toledo InfraGard Members Alliance to present The Darker Side of AI, a timely event exploring the real-world cybersecurity risks emerging as artificial intelligence rapidly changes how we work, communicate, and do business.

Tuesday, September 15 | 10:00 AM–3:30 PM, Lunch will be Provided

The conversation around AI is often dominated by extremes—from promises that it will transform nearly every aspect of business to predictions of a technology-driven dystopia. This event moves beyond the hype to focus on what is actually happening today.

Experts from law enforcement, cybersecurity, AI development, and software engineering will examine how AI is being used by cybercriminals, how organizations are unintentionally creating new vulnerabilities through rapid AI adoption, and what businesses can do to protect their people, data, and operations.

Attendees will hear real-world perspectives on AI-enabled cybercrime, social engineering, identity deception, trust manipulation, insecure AI adoption, and the risks associated with AI-assisted software development and deployment. Sessions will explore both sides of the threat landscape—from sophisticated criminal organizations using AI to scale attacks and fraud to employees introducing risk through ungoverned AI tools and automated workflows.

Featured topics include:

• Criminal Usage of AI — An FBI perspective on how criminal actors are incorporating AI into the cyberattack lifecycle and using it to increase the scale, efficiency, and effectiveness of cybercrime.
• People Are the Prompt Injection — Jason Slagle and Matt Lee of CNWR examine why one of the greatest AI vulnerabilities may be the people and processes inside an organization—and why effective governance requires more than simply creating a policy.
• Liars, Laggards, and Learners: Reckoning with AI's Dark Side in Cybersecurity — Maro explores real cases of AI-enabled deception and insecure adoption to separate emerging threats from industry hype and uncover what organizations can learn from both.
• Software Engineering and Deployment Risks of AI — Actual Reality examines the challenges of incorporating AI into software engineering and how approaches including RAG documentation, guardrails, development harnesses, data security, and team training can help mitigate risk.

The future may not look like Skynet, HAL 9000, or the T-800—but the threats facing businesses today are very real.

Join DMC Technology Group and the Toledo InfraGard Members Alliance for an informative, practical discussion about where AI-related risks are emerging, how attackers are adapting, and what organizations can do now to build stronger governance, security, and accountability in an increasingly AI-powered world.

Featured Speakers:

Special Agent Jordan Slavik of the FBI:  Criminal Use of AI:
Jason Slagle and Matt Lee of CNWR: People Are the Prompt Injection
Gwen Betts from Maro: Liars, Laggards, and Learners
Justin Beaudry from Actual Reality: Software Engineering

Come for the AI conversation. Leave with a clearer understanding of the risks that are already here—and how to prepare for what comes next.
