Artificial Intelligence Verification for Large Language Model Protocol Adherence

Tech ID: 34866 / UC Case 2026-672-0

Brief Description

A pioneering framework that enables formal verification of Large Language Model (LLM) compliance with specified interaction protocols using natural language and Finite State Machine (FSM) structures. It is complemented by methods for rapid protocol development and scalable multi-agent coordination.

Full Description

This technology introduces a novel method to verify whether AI language models adhere to interaction rules. It is a comprehensive end-to-end framework that checks AI behavior against protocols written in natural language and structured using Finite State Machines (FSMs). The invention has three complementary components:

 

  • Core verification framework: Calibrates specification detail to match model capabilities, quantitatively measures protocol adherence, and supports certified deployment in safety-critical settings such as healthcare, finance, autonomous systems, and enterprise automation.
  • Rapid development module: A streamlined method for designing and iterating on protocols through efficient simulation. It enables faster protocol development than traditional approaches.
  • Multi-agent coordination module: Extends verification to systems of multiple cooperating AI agents, providing both per-agent and compositional guarantees. 

 

Together, these tools combine formal verification rigor with practical usability. They cover the full lifecycle, from protocol design through multi-agent deployment and certification. Each component can also be licensed independently to meet different user needs.
