Ethical Usage:
Ethical usage of JYN AI’s technologies is paramount for maintaining trust and integrity across all interactions within our digital ecosystem. Users are expected to employ our technologies in ways that uphold the highest ethical standards, ensuring that their applications and use cases contribute positively to society and do not cause harm. Below are detailed guidelines on ethical usage:

  • Non-Discriminatory Practices:
    • Ensure that the application of JYN AI technologies does not result in discriminatory outcomes or biases. This includes careful monitoring and adjustment of systems to prevent biases related to race, gender, age, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
    • Develop and deploy AI models that are inclusive and represent diverse datasets, avoiding perpetuation of stereotypes or unfair disadvantages to any group or individual.
  • Transparency in AI Decision-Making:
    • Maintain a high level of transparency regarding AI decision processes, especially when these decisions impact individual rights, access to services, or have other significant effects on users’ lives.
    • Provide users with clear, understandable explanations of how decisions are made by AI, including any factors that influence those decisions.
  • Responsible AI in Safety-Critical Environments:
    • Exercise extreme caution and rigorous testing when integrating AI into safety-critical areas such as healthcare, transportation, or financial services where AI decisions could pose risks to health, safety, or significant financial impact.
    • Adhere to all industry-specific regulations and standards to ensure that AI deployments in these areas are safe, reliable, and effective.
  • Preventing Misuse of AI:
    • Implement measures to prevent the misuse of AI applications for malicious purposes such as creating deepfakes, enabling surveillance that violates privacy norms, or any other unethical use of AI technologies.
    • Proactively monitor and mitigate potential misuse, and design systems to trace and halt unauthorized or harmful activities.
  • Promoting Environmental Sustainability:
    • Recognize and address the environmental impact of training and deploying AI systems. Strive to minimize carbon footprints and promote energy-efficient practices throughout the lifecycle of AI products and services.
    • Encourage the development of AI solutions that contribute to environmental protection and sustainability efforts, such as optimizing energy use, reducing waste, or supporting ecological research.
  • Ethics in Research and Development:
    • Ensure that all research and development activities involving AI are conducted with the highest ethical standards, respecting human rights, and considering potential societal impacts.
    • Engage with diverse stakeholders, including ethicists, to evaluate the ethical implications of AI projects. Encourage ethical training and awareness among all team members involved in AI development.
  • Supporting Human Welfare:
    • Leverage AI to enhance human capabilities and address societal challenges rather than replace human functions. Aim to support and augment human activities, improving quality of life and accessibility, rather than creating dependencies on technology.
    • Prioritize developments that offer meaningful improvements to health, education, and quality of life, particularly in underserved and disadvantaged communities.

Content Standards:

  • Users must not create, upload, or share any content that exploits or harms individuals, particularly minors. This includes but is not limited to, sexual exploitation, abuse imagery, or content that could psychologically harm children.
