Prof. Hu Secured Multimillion-dollar ITF project on Large Language Model Privacy

1 Nov 2024


Prof. Hu has secured an ITF ITSP research grant of 2 million Hong Kong Dollars with title “MyGPTShield: A Personalized Privacy-Preserving Prompt Service for Large Generative AI Models”.

Thanks to the booming of AI and cloud computing industry, generative AI has become increasingly popular and fostered new businesses opportunities that are never imaged before. However, there is a barrier for the propellent of generative AI in more business applications. That is, how users’ privacy in the chat prompt can be preserved. In this project, we propose to build a personal privacy-preserving prompt service for AI-powered large language models, such as ChatGPT.

The proposed project will greatly broaden the current landscape of AI industry in Hong Kong. The launching of our MyGPTShield system and platform will not only benefit the end users (i.e., consumers), but also enrich business opportunities for AI driven developers and SMEs who rely on GPT services for their products and services.

The project will start in November 2024 and last for 24 months. For inquiries, please contact Prof. Haibo Hu (haibo.hu@polyu.edu.hk).
