Mansi Phute is a PhD student at Georgia Tech, advised by Polo Chau. She works in the field of Trustworthy, Responsible, and Secure AI. Her PhD thesis aims to identify vulnerabilities in AI systems and develop practical, scalable defenses against them, with the goal of securing large-scale AI models and increasing trust in the deployed systems. Her work has produced two patents and two industry-deployed defenses: one at ADP, the world’s largest payroll company, and one at HiddenLayer, an AI security company securing the full AI supply chain, where her work provides real-time defenses against adversarial attacks.
