PureCipher's Mission Statement
Wendy Chin, Founder & CEO
I was inspired to make a difference by recognizing that AI, as an advanced tool, holds immense potential to transform society in unprecedented ways. It can drive groundbreaking innovations, solve complex global challenges, and improve the quality of life for countless individuals. However, the same tool, if misused or inadequately protected, can amplify harm, enabling malicious actors to exploit vulnerabilities or inadvertently causing unintended consequences. This dual potential motivated me to take action. I founded PureCipher Inc. with a singular mission: to secure AI and ensure it is a force for good. Our vision is to create a world where AI reliably serves humanity, empowering innovation without compromising integrity or safety.
At PureCipher, we address two critical challenges in the AI landscape: AI data poisoning and AI compromise. When the data used to train an AI model is intentionally manipulated, the trustworthiness of the AI's learning outcomes is destroyed, leading to flawed decisions that can ripple across industries, from healthcare to finance. Similarly, if an AI system deployed in business operations is compromised or infected with malicious code, the resulting actions taken by AI agents can have catastrophic consequences. Imagine a supply chain AI that mismanages resources or a healthcare AI that misdiagnoses conditions or intentionally denies health claims—all due to compromised integrity. Despite the rapid integration of AI into nearly every sector, the importance of robust AI security is often overlooked, leaving businesses and consumers vulnerable to these risks. PureCipher is not just addressing these challenges; we are pioneering solutions to ensure AI systems are resilient and trustworthy from the ground up.
In the race to integrate AI into all aspects of business, AI security has become an afterthought, overshadowed by the pressure to innovate and monetize quickly. Educating businesses and consumers about the critical importance of securing AI systems is an essential part of our mission. Many organizations prioritize speed to market and revenue generation over safeguarding their systems, which creates a dangerous gap in protection. At PureCipher, we believe that true progress lies not just in adopting AI but in adopting it responsibly. Our approach involves not only deploying cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial immune systems to detect and combat malicious attacks, but also advocating for a cultural shift in how organizations view security. We aim to make AI security a foundational aspect of every AI deployment, ensuring that innovation and protection go hand in hand.
