Model propagation in edge architectures

This invention describes a system for securely distributing and running AI models on small, local devices (edge appliances). When a new model is received, the system checks a blockchain to see if enough other devices have already verified its trustworthiness. If it's verified, the model starts running, using local sensor data to make decisions; otherwise, it's sent to more edge devices to gather further attestations.

Why it matters: Filed when edge AI and blockchain were still emerging. The increasing demand for trustworthy and verifiable AI models deployed directly on edge devices, coupled with advancements in distributed ledger technologies, makes this approach more relevant and potentially feasible to implement today.
