Kihyun Seol

AI Offensive Security Researcher I am a dedicated student who is deeply engaged in artificial intelligence research, with a particular focus on supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. Before joining the 12th Best of the Best (a.k.a. BoB) program, I participated in a team project that utilized Kaggle datasets to implement malware detection using both supervised and unsupervised learning methodologies. This experience proved invaluable as I embarked on a project within the 12th BoB program, where I explored defensive strategies against potential attacks on software supply chains, developing a practical framework for attack response. And through this 12th BoB team project, I gained insights into how integrating various AI models could enhance performance, which further fueled my passion for advancing AI technology. In addition to my project work, I have dedicated myself to studying the wide range of threats in the cyber security landscape. I am especially interested in developing proper regulations and policies to prevent the misuse of AI, given the increased potential for AI-enabled attacks with advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs). I am particularly focused on the risks associated with prompt injection and data privacy disclosures within LLMs, actively researching solutions. Driven by my ambition to become an AI Offensive Security Researcher, I have been zealously identifying various attack vectors in AI and engaging in comprehensive simulated hacking activities. My participation in the 12th BoB program's Security Consulting Track has led me to spend countless nights studying and dreaming, driven by my commitment to contribute to a more secure AI ecosystem. In 2024, I plan to extend my efforts by participating in the GCC global camp, continuing my pursuit of creating a safer AI-driven world.
