Our Research Team is building ErisML (Modeling Language)+DEME (Democratic Ethical Module Engine) - an open-source framework that makes AI alignment measurable, auditable, and actionable . Our core innovation, the Bond Index, provides a single, human-calibrated number that tells you whether an AI system should be deployed. This isn't theoretical. We've already validated the approach against 7 historical disasters - from the $504M Citibank-Revlon incident to the Mars Climate Orbiter loss to the Uber ATG fatality. Every one would have been detected. The window for building robust AI verification tools is closing fast The systems we're trying to verify are getting more capable every month. We need volunteers who believe alignment must be engineering, not philosophy - and who want to help build the tools before we need them.
