Bo Li, co-founder of Virtue AI, a company focused on addressing AI security challenges.

Originally from China, Bo earned her PhD in Computer Science from Vanderbilt University and then joined the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as a faculty member in 2018.

In April 2024, Bo co-founded Virtue AI, that has built a unified platform designed to secure AI systems with three main tools:

►VirtueRed, which automatically tests AI models for over 320 risks like data leaks or hallucinations;
►VirtueGuard, a real-time monitoring engine that catches harmful or sensitive AI outputs across text, image, and more;
►VirtueAgent, secure AI agents built with strong safeguards for use in sensitive fields like finance and healthcare.

The company just raised $30M in seed and Series A funding — a strong vote of confidence in Bo’s vision for trustworthy AI. 😎
