AI Ethics Manifesto

Our Commitment to Human-Centric Intelligence

Preamble

We believe that technology should serve to amplify human potential, not to diminish human dignity. As we bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and emotional maturity, we commit to the following five pillars of ethical conduct.

I. Agency Over Autonomy

We believe the human must always remain the final authority.

  • No Automated Consequences: Our AI will never trigger automated disciplinary actions, salary adjustments, or terminations.

  • The "Co-Pilot" Model: SCOTi is designed as a coach, not a commander. Our insights are suggestions intended to spark human conversation, not replace it.

II. Contextual Integrity

We acknowledge that data without context is a lie.

  • The Sarcasm & Culture Clause: We recognize that AI is imperfect at capturing the nuance of human humor, cultural idioms, and "healthy friction."

  • Right to Contest: We provide teams with the ability to "flag" or correct AI interpretations, ensuring the machine learns from the team's unique culture rather than imposing a generic standard.

III. Collective Benefit, Not Individual Exposure

Our unit of analysis is the "Team," not the "Individual."

  • Anonymity by Design: Our primary goal is to measure the "weather" of a project, not the "temperature" of a single person.

  • Protection of the Vulnerable: We will never design features that allow leadership to "single out" individuals for their emotional states during periods of high stress or personal difficulty.

IV. Radical Transparency

Users have the right to know how they are being "seen."

  • Open Methodology: We commit to explaining what metrics we track (e.g., tone, response latency, sentiment) in plain language. No "Black Box" algorithms.

  • Informed Consent: We advocate for an "Opt-In" culture where project teams are educated on the benefits and risks of EQ SCOTi before implementation begins.

V. Bias Mitigation and Fairness

We actively fight against the "Echo Chamber" of algorithmic bias.

  • Inclusive Training: We audit our underlying models (like Gemini Pro) for linguistic and cultural biases to ensure that non-native speakers or diverse communication styles are not unfairly labeled as "unprofessional" or "low EQ."

  • Continuous Auditing: We perform quarterly "Ethical Impact Assessments" to ensure our tool is fostering a healthier workplace, not a more anxious one.

Our "Red Lines"

EQ SCOTi will never:

  1. Incorporate facial recognition or "gaze tracking" to determine focus.

  2. Sell or monetize team communication data to third parties.

  3. Be used as a tool for "union-busting" or monitoring organized labor activities.

​

"Emotional maturity cannot be automated; it can only be supported. Our AI exists to provide the mirror—the team must choose to look into it."
