Abstract : The growing impact of AI on industries and human-machine relationships creates an essential question about the actual controller of AI behavioral patterns. Discussing AI control structures between prompt engineering and model tuning defines its core framework. Prompt engineering uses purposeful inputs to modify large language model results without changing the core model structure so developers and non-technical users can easily employ this approach. Model tuning requires lengthy adjustments of basic model components using fine-tuning or instruction-tuning methods and reinforcement learning. Still, it allows for strong control as a drawback of its advanced requirements and resource demands. This research analyzes the technical base frameworks, practical applications, and benefits and disadvantages of both methods which also addresses manipulative control of AI systems and general system reliability as well as ethical standards and system accessibility features. We examine the effectiveness of these approaches in practical applications through real-life situations to determine which method yields better behavioral control for AI systems. We also explore the current shifts in open-source and proprietary platforms between these control methods. The ability to control AI functions best exists on a continuum that distributes power according to specified objectives, conditions, and system capabilities. The progression of artificial intelligence technology requires us to transform our grasp of control systems, collaborative protocols and responsibility duties in AI steering. The article functions as a critical tool that helps developers, businesses, and policymakers redesign their future AI development paths.
