Guardrail Technologies, the pioneer behind the first and only all-in-one, enterprise-grade platform built to safeguard businesses from the growing risks of artificial intelligence, today announced three new members of its Advisory Board: Dr. Roman V. Yampolskiy, Brigadier Gen. (Ret) J. Ray Davis and Virginia Huth. Roman, Ray and Virginia are esteemed leaders in their respective fields of artificial intelligence, military leadership and federal government administration, and their unique perspectives will empower Guardrail to better serve clients looking to target and reduce AI risk.
“I am honored that Roman, Ray and Virginia have chosen to put their distinguished names on Guardrail’s Advisory Board,” said Guardrail CEO, Todd “TJ” Marlin. “We are building industry leading software focused on AI Privacy, Protection and Controls, and I look forward to leaning on the expertise and counsel of this esteemed group going forward.”
Dr. Roman V. Yampolskiy is a tenured faculty member in computer science and engineering. He is the author of many books including “AI: Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable.” Dr. Yampolskiy’s main area of interest is artificial intelligence safety and security, aligning with Guardrail’s mission.
“We are entering a phase of AI development where the risks are no longer theoretical, but very real,” said Yampolskiy. “Guardrail’s approach to practical and enterprise-ready AI safety is an essential step toward responsible deployment. I am honored to be a part of their mission and to lend my expertise to the development of such an important company.”
J. Ray Davis is the Senior Vice President for North America Defense Business Development at Rolls-Royce. Before joining Rolls-Royce, Ray served in the U.S. Army and Army National Guard for more than 34 years providing large-scale strategic and operational leadership, successfully leading combat and garrison formations at multiple levels. He served as an AH-64A/D Apache Pilot deployed in support of Operations Southern Watch, Iraqi Freedom, New Dawn and Spartan Shield. Upon completion of Operation New Dawn, his unit initiated the Army’s AH-64D overwater operations and deck landing qualification program.
“In defense and national security, having trust and control over data is non-negotiable,” said Davis. “Guardrail is bringing that same mindset to AI and allowing organizations to innovate without compromising protection. I’m proud to support a team building technology with this level of discipline and purpose, as I know Guardrail will help organizations continue to set high-standards for effective and controlled use of AI.”
Virginia Huth is the president and founder of Vanalytix LLC, a boutique consulting firm specializing in insights to the federal marketplace and a longtime civil servant who concluded her federal career as General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Administration at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. She spent 28 years in federal service, including 18 years in six different roles as a member of the Senior Executive Service, the highest rank of civilian service. Virginia began her federal career at the White House Office of Management and Budget and later spent 13 years in executive roles at the General Services Administration, including overseeing acquisition policy for $66 billion and 7,200 members of the acquisition workforce and later leading government-wide systems modernization in the Office of Technology Transformation Services. She is a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration.
“After almost three decades in federal service, I understand the critical need to embrace technology innovation to not only deliver essential services to the American people, but also maintain our competitive advantage against our adversaries. At the same time, with the growth in the power of Artificial Intelligence, it is more crucial than ever that technology innovation be implemented ethically and responsibly, to ensure humans remain in control of critical decision making,” said Huth. “Guardrail is building the tools our Nation needs to modernize federal legacy systems, securely, responsibly and in full alignment with federal missions.”
