Abstract: The technology described herein provides a system and method for securely managing information provided to a machine-learning system. In particular, the machine-learning system may determine that additional user data will improve the accuracy of a task being performed for a user. Security is improved by only requesting access to additional user data after determining that already available data may produce a task response that does not meet quality criteria. Further, the technology determines and requests a limited amount of user data and/or access needed to complete a task successfully. Several methods of determining whether additional user information will improve the task response are contemplated.

Abstract: Processing circuitry includes a selectively powered domain having a communications interface to communicate with power management circuitry via a bus in accordance with a bus protocol, and a processing core to control the communications interface, wherein the selectively powered domain is not powered when the processing circuitry is operating in any one of multiple low power modes.
