AI Ethics Beyond Principles

Every AI company has ethics principles. Most are PDF documents that no one reads.

We wanted something different.

The Problem with Principles

Principles without enforcement are wishes. They don't prevent harm—they just provide cover when harm occurs.

Executable Governance

SOPHIA-CODE isn't a document—it's code. Literally.

Approval Gates

Significant actions require human approval. The system won't proceed without it.

Confidence Thresholds

Low-confidence responses are flagged. Users see uncertainty, not false confidence.

Audit Requirements

Every action is logged with full context. Not just what happened, but why.

Rollback Capability

Actions can be reversed. Mistakes can be corrected.

The Cultural Component

Technology alone isn't enough. We've built governance into our culture:

  • Ethics review for new features
  • Red team exercises
  • Customer feedback loops
  • Transparent incident reporting
  • Why This Matters

    AI adoption is stalling because of trust deficits. The companies that solve trust will win the market.

    We're betting our company on it.
