Summary
David Campbell is Head of AI Security Research with over two decades of experience building resilient infrastructure, security, and AI systems at Scale AI, DoorDash, Uber, Nest Labs and Microsoft. He built Scale’s AI Red Teaming platform—briefed to the White House and U.S. Congress—and focuses on the pragmatic truth that most AI incidents are boundary failures, not model bugs. David designs hard controls and measurable risk frameworks (author of the AI Risk Matrix) to shift organizations from vague “Responsible AI” talk to production-ready security and accountability. A founding member of OWASP AIVSS and the AIUC-1 certification consortium, he helps set standards for safe, agentic AI in industry and government. Colleagues note his blue-collar exec energy: hands-on, systems-minded, and fluent in plain English while translating research into operational guardrails. Based in Boston, he treats AI as infrastructure and frames security as a trust problem that will define the next decade.
