Abstract: A method for authorizing invocation of a tool by an autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agent includes receiving, by an electronic device, a request from an autonomous AI agent operating in the electronic device. The request is for invoking a tool associated with a protected resource. Moreover, the method includes obtaining a fidelity signal indicative of whether the autonomous AI agent is behaviorally bound to the person, and obtaining an integrity signal indicative of whether execution behavior of the autonomous AI agent is within a range expected for using the requested tool. Furthermore, the method includes determining whether the request satisfies policy rules based on at least one of the fidelity signal, the integrity signal and a context associated with the request. When the request satisfies the policy rules, a delegation artifact is generated and the tool invocation request is effected based on the delegation artifact.

Abstract: A method of maintaining fidelity of a bond between a person and an artificial intelligence agent bound to the person includes capturing data for behavioral modalities of a person, calculating a score for each behavioral modality, calculating a similarity score from the calculated scores, and comparing the similarity score against the threshold value. In response to determining the similarity score fails to satisfy the threshold value, the method substitutes a snapshot of a Baseline Persona Model of the person for the Baseline Persona Model. The Baseline Persona Model is a machine learning model that encodes the behavioral modality data of a person over time. The snapshot is a copy of the Baseline Persona Model at an instant in time. Subsequently data for the behavioral modalities of the person is captured over time. The Baseline Persona Model is retrained using a set of the subsequently captured data approved by the person.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting the spread of a pathogen is provided that includes storing, using a computer, location data of computing devices. Each computing device is associated with a respective user. The method also includes receiving data indicating one of the users contracted a pathogen, and comparing, using the computer, the location data of the computing device associated with the pathogenic user against the location data of the other computing devices to determine whether the computing device of the pathogenic user was within a distance of at least one other computing device within a period of time. When at least one other computing device was within the distance of the computing device associated with the pathogenic user, the user associated with the at least one other computing device is identified and notified.

Abstract: A method for ensuring that an individual is authorized to conduct an activity is provided. The method includes conducting, using a processor, an authentication transaction with authentication data captured from an individual desiring to conduct an activity, and determining whether the captured authentication data is legitimate when the individual is successfully authenticated. Moreover, the method includes determining the individual is authorized to conduct the activity when the captured authentication data is legitimate, and conducting, using the processor, a subsequent authentication transaction with authentication data captured from the individual at a subsequent time.
