Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional techniques are used for detecting malicious activities, then detection coverage is maintained, but false positive rate increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the detection task into multiple independent AI agents, each specializing in specific detection aspects. Each agent processes data independently and contributes to the final determination, allowing for more precise specialized detection while maintaining overall system reliability through distributed decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where AI agents continuously learn from detection outcomes and adjust their analysis strategies. This feedback loop enables the system to refine its detection precision over time while reducing false positives through adaptive learning from actual threat patterns versus benign activities.
2Measurement precision
If multiple AI tools are used to analyze data, then detection accuracy improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The complex detection system is divided into separate AI agents, each responsible for specific analysis functions. This segmentation allows multiple AI tools to be used simultaneously for comprehensive analysis while managing complexity through modular architecture, where each agent handles a defined portion of the detection task independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The AI agents are designed with multi-functionality, capable of performing various detection tasks using different AI tools. This universality allows a single agent to adaptively select and apply appropriate analysis methods based on the specific threat context, reducing the need for separate specialized systems for each detection scenario.
3Reliability
If autonomous AI agents are deployed for maliciousness analysis, then false positives are reduced, but computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by having AI agents focus their analysis on specific aspects of entity behavior rather than comprehensively analyzing all possible data points. Each agent performs targeted analysis on relevant features, reducing overall computational resource consumption while maintaining high reliability in false positive reduction through specialized focused detection.

AI summary
Techniques are described herein that are capable of performing entity maliciousness analysis using autonomous AI agents. A first autonomous AI agent selects relevant data from a corpus of data using a first selected AI tool in an AI model as a result of the relevant data being associated with an entity. A second autonomous AI agent generates a maliciousness determination, which indicates whether the entity exhibits malicious behavior, by analyzing the relevant data using a second selected AI tool in the AI model. A third autonomous AI agent generates a validity determination, which indicates whether the maliciousness determination is valid, by analyzing the maliciousness determination using a third selected AI tool in the AI model. As a result of an analysis that takes into consideration the validity determination, execution of an instruction that causes a security action to be performed with regard to the entity is triggered.
