Secure enforcement of digital rights in artificial intelligence models

Abstract

Aspects of the technology disclosed herein related to a distributed architecture for securely delivering AI models and/or training data sets to client devices for local use. The distributed includes a licensing server that controls access to and decryption of the models. The licensing server controls the distribution of licensing packages for the different models delivered by the distribution server. The client device transmits a license request to the licensing server. The licensing request may include device-level details about the client device itself, and such details may be provided in a secure, trusted manner, such as through a hardware root of trust (HROT) of the client device. If the details in the license request satisfy the security requirements for the model, a license package for the model is delivered to the client device. The license package includes a license for the model and a decryption key for the model.
