| # AI Drift Detection Frameworks |
|
|
| A structured collection of frameworks, checklists, and evaluation methods for detecting drift in AI systems, including large language models (LLMs), agent workflows, and production machine learning systems. |
|
|
| --- |
|
|
| ## Overview |
|
|
| Most AI systems do not fail abruptly. Outputs remain fluent, structured, and internally consistent. |
|
|
| But systems can degrade while still appearing to work. |
|
|
| This dataset documents a recurring pattern: |
|
|
| > Systems preserve coherence while gradually losing alignment with intent, context, and real-world conditions. |
|
|
| Each document focuses on a different layer of drift detection and reframes model degradation as a structural issue rather than a visible failure. |

| ## Drift Types Covered |
|
|
| - Data drift (input distribution changes) |
| - Performance drift (metric-level degradation) |
| - Behavioral drift (changes in system outputs) |
| - Semantic drift (loss of meaning or intent alignment) |
| - System drift (compounding misalignment across workflows) |
|
|

|
|
| ## Core Idea |
|
|
| Standard evaluation focuses on accuracy and correctness. |
|
|
| This framework focuses on whether systems remain: |
|
|
| - aligned with user intent |
| - grounded in real-world conditions |
| - useful over time |
|
|
| Drift often emerges without triggering metrics, making it difficult to detect using traditional monitoring approaches. |
|
|

|
|
| ## Intended Use |
|
|
| This dataset is useful for: |
|
|
| - monitoring LLMs and production AI systems |
| - designing evaluation frameworks beyond accuracy |
| - analyzing agent and multi-step system behavior |
| - implementing AI governance and risk frameworks |
| - detecting alignment failures in real-world deployments |
|
|
| --- |
|
|
| ## Not Intended For |
|
|
| This is not a benchmark dataset or training dataset. |
| It is a conceptual and diagnostic resource for understanding system behavior and detecting drift in deployed AI systems. |
