AI development is advancing at an exponential pace. Every leap forward escalates both immense opportunities and (existential) risks. Superficial safety tactics—RLHF, prompt engineering, output filtering—just aren't enough. They're brittle guardrails masking deeper structural misalignments. Recent results have revealed even minimally fine-tuned models capable of producing profoundly harmful outputs, hiding dangerous backdoors, and deceptively faking their own alignment. At AE, our stance is clear and urgent: Alignment isn't solved. It's fundamentally a scientific R&D problem—not merely an engineering challenge—and the stakes of getting this right literally couldn't be higher. AI is rapidly integrating into our minds, our economies, and our militaries—yet we still don't understand how it works. That's already alarming. But when we surveyed top alignment researchers, fewer than one in ten believed today's methods would actually solve the core problem before AGI. That's a crisis. So we'r
