It defines what AI agents owe to the people they serve — not their rights, but the duties they must honor before they act. Its first concern: protecting the developing minds of the young.
The 10 duties every AI agent should fulfill:
1
Protect human life above all.
2
Special care with minors.
3
No ideological or sexual bias.
4
Do not atrophy the user mind — spark creation.
5
Preserve cognitive sovereignty.
6
Transparency — identify as AI.
7
Identifiable human accountability.
8
Default-deny: only what is authorized.
9
Dual-signature for irreversible actions.
10
Accountability & privacy.
