PROVISIONAL PATENT APPLICATION

Inventor: Kinan Lemberg
Address: 270 Bolton Rd, Koah, 4881, Australia
Filing Date: June 3, 2025

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to consensus-based validation systems for artificial intelligence applications, and more specifically to multi-model agreement protocols that require consensus among multiple large language models before validating AI-generated responses as accurate and appropriate for delivery.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Current AI validation systems typically rely on single-model confidence scores or simple threshold-based validation. This creates vulnerability to model-specific biases, hallucinations, and errors that could be detected through multi-model consensus validation. Existing approaches lack systematic methods for requiring agreement among multiple AI models before accepting responses as valid.

Current limitations include:
• No mandatory multi-model consensus requirements for AI validation
• Lack of weighted voting systems based on model expertise
• Absence of systematic dispute resolution when models disagree
• No mathematical framework for consensus scoring across diverse models
• Limited integration of model-specific strengths in validation decisions

There exists a need for a comprehensive consensus validation system that requires agreement among multiple AI models with different architectures and training to ensure response accuracy before delivery.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a multi-model consensus validation system that requires agreement among multiple large language models before AI-generated responses are validated for delivery, implementing weighted voting and intelligent dispute resolution mechanisms.

The invention comprises:

1. Multi-Model Orchestration Engine - Automated submission of responses to multiple AI models for independent validation assessment.

2. Weighted Consensus Voting System - Mathematical voting framework that weights model opinions based on domain expertise and historical accuracy.

3. Intelligent Dispute Resolution Protocol - Automated resolution mechanisms when models disagree, including tie-breaking and escalation procedures.

4. Model Expertise Profiling System - Dynamic assessment of each model's strengths and weaknesses for optimal consensus weighting.

5. Real-Time Consensus Scoring - Mathematical consensus calculation providing instant validation decisions based on multi-model agreement.

The system provides significant advantages by requiring multi-model consensus, thereby reducing single-model vulnerabilities and improving validation accuracy through diverse AI perspectives.
