New Faculty Wants to Secure AI in the Wild

New cybersecurity research initiatives into generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools will soon be underway at Georgia Tech, thanks to the efforts of a new assistant professor in the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy (SCP).

While some researchers seek ways to integrate AI into security practices, Teodora Baluta studies the algorithms and datasets used to train new AI tools to assess their security in theory and practice.

Specifically, she investigates whether the outputs from generative AI tools are abusing data or producing text based on stolen data. As one of Georgia Tech’s newest faculty, Baluta is determined to build on the research she completed during her Ph.D. at the National University of Singapore.
