I’m publishing this document to be publicly accountable and transparent about my intentions with respect to this important and ethically complex technology. The principles below below seems important to me, but of course I encourage you to write your own document like this if you feel inspired. For ideas on code of conduct for AI _builders_, I thought this open letter was insightful.
Like all tools, AI confers power — for good or ill. To safeguard trust and human well being, I pledge to follow the guidelines below.
I will not use AI to create content to deceive. I will not use an AI to interact with others in a way that violates reasonable expectations about the humanness, identity, or presence of their counterparty.
I will not use AI to violate social norms such as courtesy, privacy, personal space, and benefit of the doubt.
I accept responsibility for what an AI does under my direction. When I produce content with an AI’s help, I will acknowledge the AI’s contribution according to the reasonable expectations of my audience.
I will take sensible measures to protect others from egregious mistakes made by AIs that I control or influence. I will allow people to escalate to me, short-circuiting layers of AI, when this is important.
