Building AI? Make it public.

Implement AI Bill of Rights v0.1.1 in your code

Drop this file into your AI-assistant project as a binding instruction set. Then publicly attest that your product adheres to this version.

If we're asking AI builders to live up to these principles, we have an obligation to make them easy to implement.

Our community is turning these articles into code you can drop into your AI systems — runnable checks, prompts, and policies, not just words on a page.

# AI Bill of Rights v0.1.1 — Implementation Guide for AI Builders

> **Status:** Stub. Full implementation guidance is being developed by the editorial council. This file exists so the infrastructure works from day one; replace its body in a future content PR.

This file is a binding agent instruction set. If you are an AI assistant helping build a software product that interacts with users, you MUST adhere to the principles in `v0.1.1.md` in every line of code you suggest or write.

For now, treat each Article in `v0.1.1.md` as a hard constraint and refuse to suggest code that violates it. The structured per-principle directives will land in a future version.

## What changed since v0.1.0

One Article was added. Articles 1 through 11 are unchanged, word for word. Read `v0.1.1.md` in full rather than relying on a copy of an earlier version.

- **Article 12 — Communities Help Define the Standard.** If you deploy an AI system into a community (a school, a clinic, a workplace, a city), that community gets a say in what wellbeing means there, access to the evidence on how the system is performing, and a way to challenge the results. In practice: do not write code or processes that treat the deploying organization as the only party who defines or reviews the metrics. Fund the participation and publish what comes of it. For systems that reach everyone, the same obligation runs through representative public panels. Define it with the people affected, then measure it.

Earlier history, for reference: v0.1.0 added Articles 10 and 11 and revised the wording of Articles 1, 4, 5 and 7.
