Sander Schulhoff is best known as the Founder of Learn Prompting, which was the first-ever prompt engineering guide to be released on the internet. Learn Prompting was launched in October of 2022, just a month before ChatGPT, and since then he has trained over 3 million people and has led workshops at OpenAI and Microsoft. An expert in topics such as Prompt Engineering and AI Security, Sander is highly sought-after to share his knowledge through speaking engagements.
An illustrious career, Sander’s research began at the University of Maryland, where he found his niche of Natural Language Processing and Deep Reinforcement Learning. It was within these topics that he began his research and soon went on to publish papers on AI applications in diplomacy, AI safety, and machine learning. Sander held multiple job roles following this where he gained hands-on experience, such as a Deep Reinforcement Learning Engineer at Semiotic Labs. Throughout his career, Sander has worked with The Farama Foundation to create learning tools which would be used by major AI companies such as Google and Meta. He was also a Co-Instructor of ‘ChatGPT for Everyone,’ a popular online course that was created in partnership with Open AI.
Another prominent moment from Sander’s career is that he organised HackAPrompt, which was the largest Generative AI Red Teaming competition ever, created in partnership with Open AI, ScaleAI, and Hugging Face. From this, he created the largest prompt injection dataset ever collected and this has now been used by every major LLM and AI security company. Additionally, Sander authored a post-competition paper which won the Best Theme Paper award at EMNLP 2023 out of 20,000 submissions. With his research on AI security and prompt engineering having influenced industry standards, Sander is a truly credible speaker in his field.
An ability to offer insights that no other speaker can, Sander’s expertise spans many topics, ideas, and practical advice. He has experience speaking at top AI conferences, corporate sessions, and online education, making him an ideal choice for keynote speeches, panels, and workshops. Having trained some of the best minds in AI, it is no surprise that he is highly sought after as a speaker today.
