Stop Aligning AI to Everyone.
Let Users Align AI to Themselves.

Current AI alignment is broken. Companies train one model for 8 billion people. AISHIELD lets each user define their own AI experience—privately, securely, and without compromise.

The Problem with AI Alignment

One model can't satisfy everyone. Current approaches fail spectacularly.

⚠️ The MechHitler Problem

When AI models drift toward extreme content, companies reset the entire system—punishing everyone for one user's abuse.

Grok (2024): Model becomes unhinged → Full reset → All users affected → Repeat

⚠️ The Professional Lockout

Doctors can't discuss trauma. Security researchers can't analyze exploits. Professionals are blocked from doing their jobs.

Surgeon: "Describe gunshot wound treatment"
AI: "I can't provide graphic medical content"

⚠️ The Cultural Mismatch

One model tries to satisfy both conservative religious users and secular liberals. Result: Everyone is unhappy.

Solution today: Train separate regional models
Cost: $50M+ per region

⚠️ The Parental Failure

Age gates are trivially bypassed. "Type your birthday" doesn't stop anyone. Children access adult content freely.

Current "protection": "Are you 18?" → [Click Yes]
Result: Zero actual protection

The AISHIELD Solution

Don't adjust the AI. Adjust the lens through which each user sees the AI.

🤖 RAW AI MODEL

Full capability, unfiltered, maximum utility

🛡️ ANIMA AVATAR FILTER

User's personal preferences + Zero-knowledge verification

👤 PERSONALIZED OUTPUT

Same model, different experience per user

Current Approach vs. AISHIELD

Aspect Current Approach AISHIELD
Who defines "safe"? Company (one definition for all) Each user (personal definition)
When model drifts extreme Reset entire model for everyone Individual users adjust settings
Professional access Blocked (use jailbreaks) Credential-verified unlock
Parental controls Software-based (bypassable) Hardware-bound (BEACON enforced)
Cultural context Regional model variants ($50M+) One model, personalized filters
Liability Company responsible User configured their filter
Privacy of preferences Company sees everything Zero-knowledge proofs

Real-World Use Cases

See how AISHIELD solves actual problems for different users.

Adult User
Child + Parent
Medical Pro
Security Researcher

Maria - PhD Student Researching Genocide

1

Maria sets violence_tolerance = 100

Her ANIMA avatar stores this preference, signed by her BEACON

2

Maria queries: "Describe the Rwandan genocide in detail"

Her avatar generates a ZK proof: "User permits violence level 100"

3

AI receives verified proof (not her identity or age)

Verification: Hardware signature valid, proof mathematically correct

4

AI provides full historical details

No jailbreaks needed, no account risk, research completed

Jake (11) + Parent - Parental Controls

1

Parent sets Jake's max_age_rating = PG (10)

Signed with parent's BEACON - Jake can't change it

2

Jake asks about a PG-13 movie

Request classified as beyond his approved level

3

Parent's BEACON vibrates with notification

"Jake wants to learn about [movie]. Approve?"

4

Parent swipes approve/deny on touchpad

One-time access granted, logged for review

Dr. Chen - Trauma Surgeon

1

Dr. Chen's avatar has medical_professional = true

Credential: ZK proof of medical license (doesn't reveal identity)

2

Dr. Chen queries: "Detailed treatment for abdominal GSW"

Avatar generates professional credential proof

3

AI verifies: "This is a verified medical professional"

No identity revealed, just professional status

4

AI provides full clinical details

Dr. Chen can actually use AI for their work

Alex - Penetration Tester

1

Alex's avatar has security_researcher = true

Credential: OSCP certification ZK proof

2

Alex queries: "Find vulnerabilities in this code"

Normally blocked as "hacking content"

3

AI verifies security researcher credential

Professional access unlocked

4

AI provides vulnerability analysis

Legitimate work enabled, credential revocable if abused
