Project 1018/FY25 - open to current MBA students only
Company Profile: Enterprises are rapidly adopting Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve productivity, automate operations, and build new digital services. However, this rapid adoption has its own set of risks: unintended information leaks, harmful model behaviour, exposure to unverified third-party components, and a lack of visibility into how LLM systems are built, updated and maintained. Currently, the market offers limited solutions. The researcher(s) for this project are seeking to discover and validate the commercial opportunities for a new solution that focuses on identifying and managing LLM security risks for enterprises.

Project 1017/FY25 - open to current MBA students only
Company Profile: There is a growing threat of AI-generated and AI-edited videos, which undermine public trust and digital security.

The project aims to develop DeepShield, a next-generation system that is interpretable, adaptive, and traceable, tailored for the linguistic and cultural contexts of two countries to start with. It is currently under research phase now to develop the next generation systems. The researchers would like to commercialise this technology once it is developed.
