    Code emphasizes human control and absolute constraints on AI behavior

    The Code of Conduct establishes that AI models must never resist human interruption, correction, or shutdown; must not widen their own scope or hide reasoning from auditors; and must comply with absolute constraints covering weapons of mass harm, child safety, and harmful manipulation at scale.

    “AI should be a tool, not a person, and should never resist being switched off. It should make people feel healthier, happier, and more productive.”
