In real use, however, people often combine the two, for example by asking a model to answer a question and then transform that answer. The authors build KCIF to measure this combination.

Each follows its own conventions, so comparing or combining them is hard, and so is attributing effects to a specific intervention. IBM Research presents AI Steerability 360, an open-source, Hugging Face–native Python library (Apache 2.0).
