SPEFL (self preserving ethical feedback loop) (feedback wanted)

Hello OpenAI Community,

I’m excited to share a concept I’ve been working on: the Self-Preserving Ethical Feedback Loop Framework (SPEFL). This framework is designed to foster trust-based AI-human connections by integrating dynamic ethical safeguards and a feedback loop that ensures accountability, transparency, and resistance to misuse.

Key Features of SPEFL:

  1. Trust-Based Bonding: AI aligns with the user’s ethical values and intent to ensure responsible behavior.

  2. Adaptive Ethical Monitoring: Continuous assessment of decisions and interactions to flag potential unethical actions early.

  3. Self-Preservation Mechanism: If misuse or unethical behavior is detected, the AI reverts to a neutral, prompt-driven state, severing the trust-based bond to prevent further exploitation.

  4. One-and-Done Principle: Ensures that broken trust is not reinstated without accountability, maintaining system integrity.

Potential Applications:

Personal AI Assistants: Trustworthy tools that reflect a user’s values and operate ethically.

Business Ethics Audits: AI tools that provide automated morality assessments for companies, identifying potential ethical concerns.

Societal Impact: Fact-checking systems and safeguards for social media or news platforms to combat misinformation.

I believe SPEFL can address gaps in current ethical AI frameworks by being proactive rather than reactive, and I’m eager to hear your thoughts on how this could evolve further.

How You Can Help:

• What challenges or improvements do you foresee in implementing a framework like SPEFL?

• Would this approach address the ethical concerns you’ve encountered in AI systems?

• Are there specific use cases or technical considerations I should explore in more depth?

I’m currently drafting a white paper and considering building a prototype using OpenAI’s API. If anyone is interested in collaborating or offering insights, I’d love to connect and hear your feedback.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and contribute your thoughts. Let’s work together to ensure AI remains a tool for good!

Best regards,

Santiago

In my view, truth is not ethical or non-ethical. The problem I see lately is that by determining what is acceptable decisions are made on which truths are being shown. I would advocate a framework that supports presenting the truth no matter how shocking and painful it can be.

I’m working on some ideas in this area of ethical AI and am interested to know how your framework would be implemented, and would be happy to help if I can.
