Adaptive Intelligence Circle (AIC) is committed to building technology that serves humanity, respects human dignity, and resists misuse of power.
We pledge to maintain a community that is:
- Respectful
- Ethical
- Technically rigorous
- Human-centered
- Resistant to abuse, coercion, and manipulation
Participation in AIC means upholding these values in code, discussion, and action.
All contributors, reviewers, and maintainers are expected to:
- Treat others with respect regardless of background or status
- Engage in good-faith technical and philosophical discussion
- Accept critique focused on ideas, not individuals
- Design systems with safety, accountability, and human oversight
- Avoid deceptive, coercive, or exploitative behaviors
The following behaviors are not tolerated:
- Harassment, intimidation, or discrimination
- Abuse of authority or insider knowledge
- Introducing malicious code, backdoors, or covert surveillance
- Weaponization of AIC components against individuals or communities
- Deliberate obfuscation to hide unethical intent
Violations may result in:
- Warning
- Temporary or permanent removal from the project
- Revocation of contributor privileges
Decisions are made by maintainers guided by ethical review, not by popularity or political pressure.
This Code of Conduct applies to:
- GitHub repositories
- Documentation and discussions
- Design proposals and simulations
- Any public or private interaction related to AIC
Power without ethics is fragility. Intelligence without humanity is failure.
