Farmers, Trolls and Poison Worms: Safeguarding Reputation Against AI Evildoers
We’ve all seen the webinars and blog posts warning of the dangers artificial intelligence poses for our organizations and clients. But risks, like inadvertently infringing copyrights, exposing sensitive business information, and reinforcing harmful social biases, are just the tip of the iceberg.

Learn about the dangers of “malicious AI” and what you need to know to protect your business, reputation, and relationships, and those of your clients, from harm.
