Solution Overview

Problem

Current artificial intelligence (AI) systems lack effective methods to terminate malicious AI (mAI) once detected, allowing mAI to continue intruding on networks and disrupting operations.

Innovation Solution

An AI termination system that includes an auditor AI (aAI) to detect and degrade the performance of mAI by identifying and altering data fragments, using methods such as encryption, deletion, or adding incorrect data until the mAI's effectiveness is reduced below a threshold.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If an aAI notifies an administrator or takes network offline, then the network security is improved, but the network disruption increases and user service deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork securityVSAvoidnetwork disruption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data accessed by mAI into multiple fragments stored across different databases. The aAI then selectively degrades only specific fragments rather than shutting down the entire network. This allows targeted neutralization of malicious AI functionality while preserving legitimate network operations and data access for authorized users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating between data fragments that should be degraded versus those that should remain accessible. The aAI analyzes which specific data fragments the mAI relies upon and applies degradation only to those local segments, leaving the rest of the network and other data intact. This enables precise localized action rather than blanket network shutdown.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If the aAI degrades data fragments to terminate mAI, then the mAI effectiveness is reduced, but the data integrity and availability for legitimate users may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovemAI termination effectivenessVSAvoiddata accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides data into discrete fragments that can be independently targeted for degradation. By segmenting data this way, the aAI can selectively degrade only the fragments necessary for mAI operation while preserving other data fragments that legitimate users need to access. This segmentation enables precise differentiation between malicious and legitimate data access requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The aAI continuously monitors the effectiveness of data degradation on the mAI and adjusts its actions accordingly. The system evaluates whether the degraded fragments have successfully reduced mAI effectiveness below a threshold, and modifies subsequent degradation actions based on this feedback to ensure mAI termination while minimizing impact on legitimate data accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Apparatus and methods for an artificial intelligence implemented termination by an auditor artificial intelligence (“aAI”) of a malicious artificial intelligence (“mAI”) are provided. The aAI may detect a mAI on a network and determine which data the mAI can access on the network. The aAI may then degrade all or part of the data in various ways to prevent the mAI from producing valid content based on the data. The aAI may also create code and inject the code into the mAI to degrade the mAI's operations. As the mAI may rely on valid data to produce valid output, degrading the data may degrade the mAI.
