In a move focused on building safer AI systems, Perplexity has announced the launch of the Secure Intelligence Institute (SII), a dedicated research hub aimed at improving security and privacy in advanced artificial intelligence.
SII will focus on addressing key challenges linked to modern AI systems, including smart agents and models that process multiple types of data. The goal is to develop stronger methods to ensure these systems remain secure and reliable.
The institute’s research will span areas such as cryptography, privacy, and trustworthy machine learning. It will also collaborate with universities to advance research and innovation in these domains.
One of the first initiatives under SII is BrowseSafe. This is an open-source benchmark and detection model designed to identify harmful content and potential threats in AI-powered web environments.
The institute will be led by Dr. Ninghui Li, who has extensive expertise in security and privacy. He has been appointed as the first director of SII.
With this launch, Perplexity is aiming to build a stronger foundation for secure and private AI systems while addressing growing concerns around safety in increasingly complex technologies.
