Abstract: This application discloses how an Artificial Intelligence instance may be oriented to or with a Viewpoint which may be an entry point for an AI to a Trusted Zone. A Trusted Zone also preferably incorporates both a general Curated Data Repository and Evaluation system as well as a Curated Data Repository of Morals, Culture, History. The Trusted Zone innovation is intended to support AI superintelligence alignment by providing a trusted framework within which smart AI systems should be more likely to follow human intent and less likely to do what humans do not want them to do, thereby enhancing both an AI's accuracy, its trustworthiness as well as its safety for mankind.

Abstract: A system for the creation of trust-scored, trustworthy data typically where devices of users are authenticated; where user-posted data becomes content within system-defined digital objects which are user-signed; where posted user-claimed facts are supported by user-posted visible evidence; where relationships between facts and visible evidence are identified by user-signed proprietary t-tags; where hashes of signed objects and t-tags are recorded on blockchain; where posted data has been trust-scored by the system; where users may collaboratively post, produce and align trustworthy data thereby preferably creating new knowledge; where nefarious users with low trust scores become no longer visible to other users on the system; where system trustworthy data system may be used for multiple purposes, preferably improving the trustworthiness of AI systems by users to preferably making trustworthy data available to AI systems, in different embodiments to challenge inadequate AI responses, and/or provide generally q

Abstract: Participants as requestors using a requesting network element request one or more tokenization processors to generate tokens that represent a sanitized version of data such that the resultant tokens are amenable to comparison across participants. As circumstances warrant, one or more such tokens can be submitted to the tokenization processor(s) to privately retrieve the original data. Role-based access control scope parameters and tokenization processor-specific tokenization processor secrets can be embedded into reversible tokens that remain invariant under updating of the tokenization processor secrets across tokenization processors.

Abstract: Method for utilizing a communication line certificate corresponding to a first device and a second device for a communication line, each of the first and second devices including a hardware processor and associated memory includes: creating a unique ID, by a third electronic device; transmitting the unique ID to the first generating a digitally signed request by the first device, wherein the digitally signed request comprises a first proof of an association of the first device to the communication line; transmitting the digitally signed request to the second device; verifying the first proof by the second device to produce a first verification of the association of the first device to the communication line; and generating a digitally signed acceptance by the second device, wherein the digitally signed acceptance comprises a second proof of an association of the second device to the communication line.

Abstract: A system for authenticated users collaborating to post their content using digitally signed, formatted objects following a pedia-type format using blockchain. Users will attest their object content as: a fact; an opinion; a comment; or other. Users will use the system's formatted digital t-tags to associate all or a portion of one posted object, to all or a portion of another object. T-tags may identify, map, associate and otherwise organize data and establish relationships of designated content in a manner that supports collaboration and enlightenment amongst users. Users may assign relative importances to data to support other users' abilities to evaluate that data to reach intelligent conclusions. The system will: score both trust and reputation of both users and data; mitigate against malicious, misleading or false data; have active defenses against “misinformation”, “conspiracy theories”, false “PR” narratives, system “plants”, spoofing of user identities, and more.

Abstract: A protocol that is managed by a coordinating network element or third-party intermediary or peer network elements and utilizes tokens prohibits any subset of a union of the coordinating network element or third-party intermediary, if any, and a proper subset of the processors involved in token generation from substantively accessing underlying data. By one approach, processors utilize uniquely-held secrets. By one approach, an audit capability involves a plurality of processors. By one approach, the protocol enables data transference and/or corroboration. By one approach, transferred data is hosted independently of the coordinating network element. By one approach, the coordinating network element or third-party intermediary or a second requesting network element is at least partially blinded from access to tokens submitted by a first requesting network element. By one approach, a third-party intermediary uses a single- or consortium- sourced database.

Abstract: A coordinating network element manages a protocol that makes attestations of off-platform-resolved data and decisions available for use on a blockchain platform or on another decentralized-execution-based platform operational within a multi-tenant environment. By one approach, these teachings provide for off-platform-verified data pertaining to individual-, group- or machine-based users to be blinded from access by the coordinating network element and by the platform while utilizing a tokenized form of such data to enable user-initiated queries that involve solely on-platform vetting of users as a condition of fulfilling user requests for service.

Abstract: A coordinating network element manages a protocol that prohibits the coordinating network element from substantively accessing data content that, at least in part, underlies received protocol-compliant requests. By one approach, these teachings provide for preventing substantive access to data information that is included within the protocol-compliant request in tokenized form, wherein the tokens are generated using secrets, at least one of which is unavailable to the coordinating network element.
