Training AI Like a Dog
Learn how operant conditioning principles from K9 training can improve AI model alignment by detecting and correcting root causes of behavioral drift in real-time.
Overview
A behavioral auditing and intervention system that runs alongside a language model in real time, detecting drift, entropy, and reward signal dysfunction while correcting for root cause rather than surface behavior. Built off-API on a local small model with no GPU using operant conditioning principles from high-stakes K9 training as the architectural foundation.
