Project CHRONOS: A Fully Homomorphic Ephemeral AI Agent with Provable Self Termination and Remote Verifiability

We present CHRONOS, the first autonomous AI agent that simultaneously achieves plaintextblindness (all data is processed under fully homomorphic encryption without ever beingexposed), cryptographically enforced time bound existence (the agent’s own decryption key islocked behind...

The Provably Aligned AI Core: A Deterministic Safety Wrapper for Self-Improving Agents

Self-improving artificial intelligence—systems that modify their own source code—promises exponential capability gains but also poses an existential risk: a singleunchecked code modification could permanently remove all safety constraints.Existing alignment methods (RLHF, Constit...
