Ethical Principles

To protect the integrity of the 8Wise® Method and the wellbeing of our users, all AI interactions must adhere to these standards:

  • Human-Led: All final decisions and interpretations must remain with the human user.

  • Structure First: AI should be used within the defined 8Wise® structured prompts to avoid bias.

  • Independence: The goal of using AI is to build long-term independent thinking, not dependency on the tool.

  • Safety First: AI must never be used as a primary tool in crisis or safeguarding situations.
