SUMMARY:ECE Graduate Seminar Lecture\, Speaker: Professor Fatemeh (Saba) Ga
 nji\, ECE Department\, WPI
DESCRIPTION:Title:\nVerification of Frontier AI Models\n\nAbstract:\nArtifi
 cial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly capable of perfor
 ming complex tasks\, from answering questions to assisting with scientific
  research. The most advanced of these systems\, often called frontier AI\,
  offer enormous opportunities but also raise important questions about sec
 urity\, safety\, and trust. How can we know whether an AI system behaves a
 s promised? Could someone secretly modify it\, introduce harmful capabilit
 ies\, or bypass its safety protections?\nThis talk introduces AI verificat
 ion\, the process of checking claims about AI systems with trustworthy evi
 dence rather than relying solely on developers’ reports. A central theme
  is understanding who might attempt to manipulate an AI system\, what they
  can control\, and how verification can expose such manipulation. We explo
 re three main approaches: human-led inspections\, software-based technique
 s\, and hardware-based security mechanisms. Through practical examples\, w
 e examine what these approaches can verify today\, which threats they can 
 detect\, and where their limitations lie.\n\n\nImage\n  \n\n\n\nSpeaker:\n
