1Reliability

If classical computing devices are used to identify deviations within AI models, then the AI model can be monitored, but the process is resource consumptive and challenging due to the complex nature of AI models

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a quantum computing system as an intermediary between the AI model and the monitoring process. The quantum system receives inputs from the AI model, performs parallel quantum simulations to detect deviations, and returns results to the classical system. This intermediary approach allows complex deviation identification to be offloaded to quantum processing, reducing the burden on classical computing devices while maintaining reliable AI model monitoring.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the monitoring system into distinct components: a classical computing system that interfaces with the AI model, a quantum computing system that performs parallel simulations, and communication interfaces between them. This segmentation allows the high-speed quantum processing to be isolated from the classical system, enabling fast deviation detection while managing system complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces communication interfaces and translation layers as intermediaries between the quantum and classical systems. These intermediaries handle data conversion, protocol translation, and result interpretation, allowing the quantum system to operate at high speed while the classical system manages overall system coordination, thus balancing productivity improvement with complexity management.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a quantum simulation copy of the AI model's processing logic. Instead of directly analyzing the complex AI model, the quantum system creates simplified quantum representations (copies) of the AI's decision pathways and simulates them in parallel. This copying approach enables high-precision deviation detection by comparing multiple simulated outcomes against expected results, while avoiding the need to directly process the full complexity of the original AI model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Implementation Method 1

Quantum computing is the use of quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition, spin and entanglement to perform computations. A bit in a quantum computer is comparable to a bit in a classical computer. Quantum computing differs from classical computing in such a way that a qubit can be in a zero state and a one state at the same time.

AI summary

Methods, systems and apparatus for maintaining a stable artificial intelligence (“AI”) model are provided. The methods may include detecting an input query entered into an input field of the AI model. Data points and algorithms used by the AI model to generate the response to the input query may be identified. The methods may include generating a simulated response using a quantum computing platform. The simulated response may be compared with the response generated by the AI model. Based on the comparing, AI-based deviations, quantum-based deviations and a shared set of parameters may be identified. Using the AI-based deviations, the quantum-based deviations and the shared set of parameters a guardrail may be created. The guardrail may be used to maintain the AI model at a stable operating level. The guardrail may delete data points and algorithms that are determined to correspond to the AI-based deviations and the quantum-based deviations.
