Abstract
This defensive publication describes a framework for multi-artificial intelligence (AI) orchestration that can be used to address potential limitations associated with reliance on single AI models, such as correlated systemic failures or cognitive blind spots. The described system is a cognitive orchestration framework that can function as a middleware layer to manage tasks across a heterogeneous ensemble of AI models. An orchestrator node can decompose a user request into a sequence of sub-tasks, which an arbitrage engine may then dynamically assign to suitable AI models based on certain factors, such as capability, cost, and latency. For certain tasks, such as those designated as high-risk, a byzantine consensus layer can route the task to multiple diverse models in parallel and may trigger a process, for example a 'cognitive debate,' which could be adjudicated by a third-party judge model to help resolve conflicting outputs. This framework can facilitate a more resilient system that may improve the accuracy and reliability of outputs when compared to some single-model architectures.
