Shehan Nilukshan

AI Security Researcher & Red Teamer

I'm Shehan Nilukshan, an ethical AI security researcher and the founder of AI RedCell — Sri Lanka's first AI red teaming and vulnerability research agency. My journey into AI security began with a simple question: "How safe are the AI systems we trust with our data?"

What I discovered was concerning. Many AI systems, including those powering chatbots, virtual assistants, and enterprise tools, had vulnerabilities that could be exploited. This realization drove me to dedicate my career to finding and fixing these weaknesses before malicious actors could exploit them.

"I believe in making AI security knowledge accessible to everyone. That's why AI RedCell offers free courses and open-source tools — because a safer AI ecosystem benefits us all."

— Shehan Nilukshan

Through AI RedCell, I combine rigorous security testing with a commitment to education. We don't just find vulnerabilities — we teach others how to build more secure AI systems from the ground up.
