Students, instructors and schools; anyone learning cybersecurity and AI safety
Turning AI red-teaming into a classroom experience
AI red-teaming means deliberately testing an AI system to find where it can be tricked, misused or made to fail, so those weaknesses can be fixed. ART-Hub turns that professional practice into a classroom experience. Students work through quizzes on key concepts and hands-on labs against a sandboxed AI model, while instructors track progress across their class.
Intelligent Futures built the first version of ART-Hub. A five-person senior design team from George Mason University’s Cyber Security Engineering program is now turning it into a secure, cloud-hosted platform that multiple schools can use.
A complete training platform
Three learning tracks
Foundations, Attack and Defense, with automatically scored labs and quizzes.
Secure AI sandbox
Each lab runs in an isolated environment, so exercises never touch live systems.
Role-based accounts
Separate access for learners, instructors and administrators.
Instructor dashboards
Class progress, grading and analytics in one place.
Certificates
Issued automatically when a learner completes a track.
Cloud deployment
Full documentation for administrators and developers.
Two semesters, one deployable platform
Proposal presented to sponsor
First working iteration
Ready for user testing
Mid-term progress review
Student user testing and feedback
Second iteration
Refined labs, expanded tracks, dashboard demos
Final presentation
IEEE paper, poster, final presentation and demonstration
