MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541085106 A) filed by Saveetha Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Sept. 8, 2025, for 'swarm ai for distributed problem-solving with confidentiality guarantees.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. S. Theerka Dharshini.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention introduces a decentralized artificial intelligence framework that enables multiple parties to collaborate on problem-solving while preserving strict confidentiality of both data and model architecture. Instead of relying on a single centralized model, the system fragments the global AI model into encrypted shards, which are distributed across participants for local execution. Updates from these shards are securely aggregated through blockchain-coordinated protocols, eliminating the possibility of reconstructing the complete model at any point. By integrating homomorphic encryption with differential privacy, the framework ensures that sensitive information remains protected during training and inference. Smart contracts embedded in the blockchain enforce participation rules and automate result sharing, removing the dependence on trusted intermediaries. The invention offers a secure, scalable, and trustless environment for AI collaboration, making it highly applicable in domains where confidentiality and competitive sensitivity are critical."
