GNET Webinar - The AI Faultline: Extremist Innovation, Jailbreaking, and P/CVE Opportunities
The Global Network on Extremism and Technology (GNET), with support from the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT), invites you to attend a webinar on Artificial Intelligence.
This webinar will feature presentations on the nexus between artificial intelligence and extremism. Specifically, the webinar will highlight the following topics:
- AI and the extreme right: evolving exploitation and latest trends;
- AI and jailbreaking: what it is, which actors exploit this technique, and how tech companies can mitigate abuse by extremists;
- AI dual-use: how practitioners can also adapt the same AI technologies exploited by violent extremist actors for prevention and intervention.
The presentations, followed by a Q&A, will highlight key considerations for P/CVE practitioners, researchers, and policymakers working to counter extremist exploitation of artificial intelligence.
Where: Online via Zoom
When: Thursday 3rd July, 16:00 BST/11:00 EST
What: Presentation and Q&A
