  • Publication number: 20250068741
    Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) based filter apparatus includes an input filter and an output filter protecting a generative AI model and preventing restricted content from being transmitted to user devices. When a user query is received, the input filter determines if the user query can be transmitted to the generative AI model by generating an input risk score for the received user query. If the user query is transmitted and a model query response is received from the generative AI model, the output filter determines an output risk score based on which the model query response may be transmitted to the user. The input filter and the output filter each include a pre-trained language model as a base with additional layers trained to estimate the corresponding risk scores.

  • Patent number: 12236222
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support cross-server containerized application allocation, multi-tenant namespace management, and data layer deployment in an edge environment. To illustrate, containers associated with an application are deployed to edge servers based on a geographic characteristic of the edge server with respect to an edge device receiving services from the application. A common data layer is provided across the edge environment to manage communications between the different containers, and between the application and other applications of the edge environment. Managing the communication is based on namespaces and/or a modality (e.g., private or public) associated with the application. Authentication configuration of the application is used to determine edge resource access for the containers of the application.

  • Patent number: 12235995
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system architecture for designing and monitoring privacy-aware services and improving privacy regulation compliance. A privacy-preserving knowledge graph (PPKG) system provides functionality for modelling and analyzing processes that use, share, or request sensitive data from users and the outcomes of such functionality may be utilized to modify the design of the processes (e.g., to improve security of the process, regulatory compliance of the process, and the like). The PPKG system may also be used to modify the process, such as to write code that may be compiled into executable form and deployed to a run-time environment. A privacy-preserving posture (PPP) system monitors the run-time environment and analyzes where processes obtain, store, and share sensitive data. The PPP system may identify run-time vulnerabilities that may pose risks with respect to the sensitive data, as well as areas where modifications could be made to improve regulatory compliance.

  • Patent number: 12229280
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support cooperative training of machine learning (ML) models that preserves privacy in untrusted environments. For example, a server (or cloud-based computing device(s)) may be configured to “split” an initial ML model into various partial ML models, some of which are provided to client devices for training based on client-specific data. Output data generated during the training at the client devices may be provided to the server for use in training corresponding server-side partial ML models. After training of the partial ML models is complete, the server may aggregate the trained partial ML models to construct an aggregate ML model for deployment to the client devices. Because the client data is not shared with other entities, privacy is maintained, and the splitting of the ML models enables offloading of computing resource-intensive training from client devices to the server.
