The Golden AI Rule

An Ethical Standard for Intelligent Systems

“If you were on the other side of this system, would you feel considered?”

For thousands of years, across cultures and traditions, human beings arrived at a shared principle — treat others as you would wish to be treated. This book asks what becomes of that principle when the one responding is not human.

Two parts. Twenty-three chapters. One question applied across the full landscape of AI ethics — from the philosophical ground to the seven ways the standard is currently failing. One question. Applied to every intelligent system that stands at the point of contact with a human being.
