A note on sources
The Rescue Mission Test argues that AI alignment is at least as much a human problem as a technical one. We cite frontier alignment work (Anthropic, METR, ARC Evals), governance scholarship (NIST AI RMF, OECD, EU AI Act, UNESCO), and the long human-centered tradition of writers and institutions that have asked, in older language, the questions this series is asking again.
