  • Patent number: 12154019
    Abstract: Systems and methods for constructing a layered artificial intelligence (AI) model are provided. The technology determines a set of layers and a set of variables for each layer for the AI model, with each layer relating to a specific domain context of the AI model. Using the layers, the AI model is trained to create layer-specific model logic for each layer using the variables of the layer. By applying the layer-specific model logic to incoming command sets, the model produces detailed layer-specific responses. The trained AI model then generates overall responses to command sets by aggregating the layer-specific responses, along with weights for each layer.

  • Patent number: 12067496
    Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and systems for reducing bias in an artificial intelligence model. A method includes computing, by a processor, a reward value based at least in part on a similarity between model predictions from a pre-trained model and agent predictions from a Reinforcement Learning (RL) agent. The method includes performing each step of one or more steps of a rule of a plurality of rules. The rule is assigned a weight and the rule includes a protected attribute, a cumulative statistic value type, and a comparison threshold. The method includes sending a cumulative reward value generated using the reward value and each weighted punishment value computed based at least in part on applying each rule of the plurality of rules to the RL agent. The RL agent learns to biases from the agent predictions while maintaining similarity with model predictions by maximizing the cumulative reward value.
