    Safety and Alignment

    How do we keep capable AI accountable to human judgment?

    Alignment asks whose values AI serves. Safety asks what happens when it fails. This thread connects model interpretability, the risks of autonomous action, and the human judgment we need to preserve.

    Reasoning Made Legible

    What does a model know, and how can we verify it?

    Language models reason probabilistically. Computational systems execute explicit structure. The useful frontier is learning where each form of intelligence should carry the load.
