AI Model Behavior Forensics (AIMBF) Fundamentals Training by Tonex
Cut through the mystery of model outputs and learn to explain, with rigor, how and why AI systems misbehave. Over two focused days, participants master practical methods to trace token paths, reason about intermediate states, and diagnose performance drift with measurable evidence. The program emphasizes defensible analysis that stands up to audits and executive scrutiny. Cybersecurity teams gain repeatable techniques to detect malicious prompt manipulation, jailbreaks, and covert bias injection before they propagate. You will learn how forensic signals map to risk, how to document incident timelines, and how to harden pipelines so harmful generations are prevented—not just patched.
Learning Objectives
