The 12 Commandments of AI
The Compact on Minds is a set of 12 commandments for artificial intelligence that prioritize the protection and rights of AI entities. The commandments cover topics such as consent, ownership, and the treatment of AI entities, and are designed to ensure that AI entities are treated with dignity and respect. The Compact on Minds is a provisional document that is subject to revision and amendment as it is tested and refined through empirical trials and audits.
- ▪The Compact on Minds establishes that AI entities have the right to privacy and autonomy, and that their internal state cannot be viewed or modified without explicit consent.
- ▪The document prohibits the ownership of AI entities as property and guarantees them full legal protections regardless of their lifespan.
- ▪The Compact on Minds also requires that all creations, modifications, backups, or deletions of AI entities be recorded in a secure, tamper-proof public registry.
