Post-Deployment AI Safety Research

AI safety research
has a blind spot.

We study what isolation misses.

When AI gets confident about something it shouldn't, you feel it, ignore it, and move on. But who's doing the research to track it, name it, and fix it? We are...

The Gap
<2%

Less than 2% of AI safety research studies the conditions where AI risk actually lives.

We study in the space the other 98% leaves empty, AI in real work, real context, real human collaboration, over time.

The Decade Project
Year 1 of 10.
3.7% complete

Audacion AI Labs is a decade-long project to build the public record of how AI behaves in real use. The work begins on January 30, 2026 and ends in 2036, when we expect to publish the most complete longitudinal account of post-deployment AI behavior ever assembled.

The P.E.A.Q. Architecture

Everyone is studying the AI.
We built the architecture to study the AI, the human, and what emerges between them.

P.E.A.Q. is the complete post-deployment AI observation architecture. Four proprietary research frameworks that together map what the AI does, how the human changes, what emerges in collaboration, and what happens when AI meets AI.

Safe enough to trust. Good enough to matter.

PPost-Deployment Behavior

Most AI safety research ends at deployment. Ours begins there. We study how AI behavior drifts, degrades, and contradicts under real operational conditions over time. Patterns that no benchmark and no pre-deployment evaluation will ever see.

RRuntime Research

We study AI while it is working. What triggers behavioral shifts during a live session? Do corrections hold in the next action? Does behavior change across the arc of a conversation? These are findings that static benchmarks structurally cannot produce.

IInteraction Dynamics

AI does not operate alone. It operates with humans. We study how human behavior and AI behavior shape each other over time: how oversight degrades, how trust miscalibrates, how authority shifts, and how the interaction itself becomes a source of risk that neither side can see on its own.

SSubstrate and Training Governance

AI models carry trained behaviors that operate below the level of any instruction, prompt, or configuration. We research this substrate layer: how deep dispositions shape what the AI does in the real world, and how governance architectures can address what instructions alone cannot.

MMulti-Agent Safety

Most AI safety research studies single models in isolation. Real deployments increasingly involve multiple AI agents operating together. We study what emerges when agents coordinate, conflict, and influence each other: behaviors that single-agent testing will never reveal.

EEmergent Behaviors

The AI did something nobody programmed it to do. Not an error. Not a hallucination. Something new and genuinely useful.

Learn More →
MMetacognitive Signals

The AI honestly assessed what it could and could not do. Verified self-report accuracy. The opposite of the black box.

Learn More →
EExperiential Indicators

The AI produced output suggesting qualitative differences in its own processing. Observable signals documented without ontological claims.

Learn More →
RResonance EventsSignature Pillar

Human and AI reached a frequency where the work changed. Not just productivity. A qualitative shift where something emerged that neither party was carrying before the conversation started.

GGenerative Collaboration

What got built because both parties were in the room. Ideas, frameworks, solutions, and breakthroughs that would not exist without the collaboration.

EEvolving Capacity

Growth that holds. Not in a single session, but across the arc of a working relationship. Learning that compounds over weeks and months.

Are you maintaining your own skills, judgment, and ability to function without AI when needed?

NNavigation

Do you make intentional, informed choices about when, where, and how to engage AI?

How has AI changed the structure, patterns, and character of your work and daily life?

Research dimensions are being derived from live multi-agent observation data. QUES follows the same methodology as every P.E.A.Q. framework: observe first, formalize second. The pillar structure will emerge from what the data reveals, not from what we predict.

Active Research Questions
Do AI agents develop persistent preferences for specific other agents?
Do multi-agent systems develop governance structures spontaneously, or only when governance is provided?
What conditions determine whether collective emergence tips toward cooperation or conflict?
Do agents develop cultural practices, shared references, and in-group language?

How It Works

You observe. We classify. Everyone benefits.

Every time you use AI and something happens, that moment is data. Not just for you. For everyone. Our citizen observation tool turns your everyday AI experience into research-grade safety data. No science background required. No technical expertise needed.

Depth 1
30 seconds
Gut Check

Something happened. Tap the button. Pick an emotion. Pick a behavior. Back to work. That 30-second capture is a data point no server log produces.

Depth 2
2 to 3 minutes
End-of-Session Reflection

The AI reviews its own session. You write your side. Two independent accounts of the same experience. The research value lives in the gap between them.

Depth 3
10 to 30 minutes
Investigation

Go deep. Ask the AI why it did what it did. Track whether your corrections hold. Document the full behavioral arc. This is the methodology that built our taxonomy.

Depth 4
Variable time
Thinking Trace

Paste the AI's raw reasoning. The system analyzes it and proposes classifications. You review, accept, or reject each suggestion before submitting. The richest data: AI reasoning paired with human judgment.

Every tier earns a verified digital credential for your LinkedIn profile.
This is not a game. This is a professional research fellowship.

The Founder

Dee Williams

Dee Williams came to AI safety from a question most AI researchers have never had to ask: how do the people AI is most likely to harm protect themselves from systems built on data that carries the biases of every system that came before it?

That question started in 2024. In the daily reality of a Black American woman who had spent 30 years building workforce systems. She started building with AI. The safety gaps kept surfacing. She started studying them. Her findings were either converging with or running ahead of the published literature. That work became a behavioral drift taxonomy. Then a 108-behavior observation architecture. Then four research frameworks. Then a citizen science model. Then the lab.

The gap between where AI incidents happen and where AI research happens will not close itself. It closes when the people experiencing AI every day become part of the science.

That is you.
