What does evaluating AI model safety before production mean?

It's decoding system cards, running use-case probes for harms like injections or hallucinations, and logging prod interactions – all to bridge demo dazzle and real-user reliability.

How do you test AI model safety in production?

Custom Python probes pre-deploy (never auto-pass), YAML checklists tying to your domains, plus hashed-log monitoring for refusal/uncertainty drifts as users poke boundaries.

Why read AI system cards before deploying models?

They flag known jailbreaks, eval gaps in languages/domains – skipping means prod surprises like harmful outputs your benchmarks ignored.
