Sander Schulhoff is a leading authority in AI security and prompt engineering, widely recognised for his groundbreaking work in the field. As the Founder and CEO of Learn Prompting, Sander launched the world’s first online prompt engineering guide in October 2022, just one month before ChatGPT’s public release. Since then, his platform has trained over 3 million individuals worldwide, establishing him as a pioneer in educating the global AI community. His sought-after expertise has seen him lead workshops at both OpenAI and Microsoft, while his ability to demystify complex AI topics makes him a standout speaker at conferences, corporate events, and educational institutions.

Sander’s academic foundation was built at the University of Maryland, where he specialised in Natural Language Processing and Deep Reinforcement Learning. His early research explored AI applications in diplomacy, safety, and machine learning, laying the groundwork for a career defined by both innovation and practical impact. Sander gained invaluable industry experience as a Deep Reinforcement Learning Engineer at Semiotic Labs and contributed to The Farama Foundation, developing learning tools now used by major AI companies such as Google and Meta. His commitment to accessible AI education is further demonstrated through his role as Co-Instructor of the highly successful “ChatGPT for Everyone” course, developed in collaboration with OpenAI.

One of Sander’s most notable achievements was organising HackAPrompt, the largest Generative AI Red Teaming competition to date, in partnership with OpenAI, ScaleAI, and Hugging Face. This landmark event led to the creation of the largest prompt injection dataset ever compiled, which has since become a critical resource for leading LLM and AI security firms. His groundbreaking research culminated in a post-competition paper that won the prestigious Best Theme Paper Award at EMNLP 2023, selected from over 20,000 submissions. More recently, in 2024, Sander led a 30-person research team to publish “The Prompt Report”, the largest-ever survey on prompting, further solidifying his position at the cutting edge of AI research.
