We are presenting PICO (Prompt Isolation and Cybersecurity Oversight), a new transformer architecture designed to prevent prompt injection attacks and ensure secure, reliable response generation in today's large language models (LLMs).
Current defenses against prompt injection—where malicious instructions can override model behavior—often mix trusted system prompts with untrusted user inputs, creating vulnerabilities that are easily bypassed.
PICO addresses this through architectural innovation: completely separating system instructions and user inputs into distinct processing channels. The system prompt pathway remains frozen and immutable, while a gated fusion mechanism dynamically weighs inputs using signals from a Security Expert Agent and Cybersecurity Knowledge Graph.
We analyze PICO’s effectiveness against sophisticated attacks, including "Policy Puppetry," where malicious instructions are disguised as configuration files. Our mathematical formulation ensures that under adversarial conditions, the trusted system instructions remain dominant in the final output.
This work contributes to building safer, more robust AI systems as language models become more widely deployed.
We invite the research community to collaborate on the empirical evaluation of the PICO framework and the refinement of adversarial training techniques to validate and enhance the model’s robustness:
CEO Dr. @bengoertzel shares his perspective on AGI and the future of work: “Older people in powerful positions can protect their roles—and they’re the ones controlling how AI is rolled out. So, of course, they’re not going to replace themselves with AI.” https://decrypt.co/323916/ai-coming-jobs-faster-anyone-though
Join us at the world's oldest and most prestigious gathering dedicated exclusively to general machine intelligence research: The 18th Annual Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-25).
AGI-25 will convene a worldwide community of researchers and developers, including notable figures like Ben Goertzel, Richard Sutton, Tatiana Shavrina, Henry Minsky, and Kristinn R. Thórisson, all working on the latest innovations toward generally intelligent machines—the next evolution of AI.
This year’s program will include mainstage keynotes and technical talks, hands-on workshops and tutorials, advanced software and hardware demonstrations, networking opportunities within our global community of innovators, and immersive experiences.
We are excited to announce that CEO Dr. @bengoertzel will be speaking at @proofoftalk on June 11 from 12:30 to 13:00 CEST at the Louvre Palace in Paris, France, to discuss the road to decentralized AGI.

Homomorphic encryption (HE) delivers cloud-scale compute power with rigorous end-to-end data privacy. While classical HE schemes support encrypted search, analytics, and limited machine learning workloads, two critical gaps remain:
- Post-quantum security challenge: Most mature HE systems rest on RSA, elliptic-curve, or pairing assumptions–all vulnerable to Shor-style attacks once large, fault-tolerant quantum computers arrive.
- Quantum computing limitation: None of the widely deployed schemes allow a user to outsource quantum computations (e.g., variational kernels, error-correction gadgets) while keeping both the algorithm and the quantum data hidden.
Our research addresses both gaps simultaneously, building on the categorical HE framework for intuitionistic proofs and total functional programs introduced in Dr. @bengoertzel's paper on "Homomorphic encryption of intuitionistic logic proofs and functional programs: A categorical approach inspired by composite-order bilinear groups" and extending it to the quantum domain:

@SingularityNET As Big Tech companies continue channeling billions of research dollars and attention into developing and scaling Large Language Models (LLMs), a fundamental question is emerging in tech circles: Are LLMs actually leading us away from true Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)?
At a recent Consensus 2025 panel addressing whether Web3 is losing the AI race, our CEO, Dr. Ben Goertzel, challenged the conventional wisdom driving investment strategies at many leading AI companies and sovereign wealth funds, including the recent multi-billion-dollar investments from Saudi Arabia and the UAE in US AI infrastructure.
"I would quote Yan LeCun, a pioneer of deep learning and the head of AI at Facebook, who said on the highway to AGI, LLMs are an off-ramp," Dr. Goertzel told attendees, rejecting the premise that Web3 approaches are falling behind centralized AI development: "If you've gotten off the off-ramp, it doesn't matter if you're going 1,000 miles an hour and the other guy's only going 300 miles an hour if they're going on the right highway to the destination."
The panel, which featured Ben Fielding (Founder, Gensyn), Jesus Rodriguez (CEO, IntoTheBlock), Clara Tsao (Founding Officer, Filecoin Foundation), and Jeff Wilser (Founder and Host, The People's AI Podcast), revealed a stark divide in how industry experts view the future of decentralized AI. While other panelists pointed to Web3's current disadvantages in talent, datasets, and infrastructure, Dr. Goertzel addressed a deeper issue: the incremental improvement of LLMs is not a viable approach to achieving human-level AGI.
However, "If scaling up transformer neural nets is the crux of how you get to AGI, it's hard to see how the US and Chinese governments and the Big Tech companies in their orbit don't win the race," Dr. Goertzel acknowledged, noting the immense capital these entities are deploying.
