Solution Overview

Problem

Detecting erroneous artificial intelligence (AI) decisions is technically difficult due to the 'black box' nature of AI systems, where inputs and outputs are known but the logic used to achieve outputs is unknown, leading to inefficient use of computing resources in understanding or reverse engineering AI decision-making processes.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing machine learning models trained on first information related to AI usage and second information from historical decisions to determine if an AI decision is erroneous, with the ability to add complaint information to a blockchain for data-driven improvement of AI accuracy.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical approach of reverse-engineering and understanding AI decision-making logic with a data-driven machine learning approach. Instead of allocating resources to analyze and comprehend complex AI logic, the system trains models on input-output pairs from historical decisions, substituting computational analysis with pattern recognition that requires fewer resources.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

In some implementations, a device may identify a use of artificial intelligence by an entity to reach a decision in connection with a user. The device may determine, using a machine learning model, that the decision in connection with the user is erroneous. The machine learning model may be trained to determine whether the decision is erroneous based on first information relating to the use of artificial intelligence by the entity and second information relating to one or more historical decisions in connection with the user or one or more other users. The device may provide a notification indicating that the decision in connection with the user is erroneous.
