AI alignment: why safe answers are not enough

A business leader reviews an AI assistant output with a magnifying glass, revealing hidden layers of business risk, data access and human validation.

Behavioral AI audit helps identify how the assistant actually responds in context, beyond polite answers or clean refusals.
