ABSTRACT:
A method for executing partially trusted behaviors using an automated assistant. The method employs a guarded execution mode which provides for the safe execution of partially trusted behaviors. Further, incremental trust growth is provided for allowing more behaviors to be executed autonomously by the automated assistant. Trust growth is accomplished through the use of a trust library. The method also employs trust reuse which provides for the reuse of individual trust library entries across behaviors which are proven to be erroneous by the automated assistant.
