Guiding responsible AI in development and collaboration.

Version 1.0

Why this matters

AI seems to give us superpowers. But as with any powerful tool, we need principles to guide us. This manifesto sets 5 principles for using AI tools like LLMs responsibly and effectively. It emphasizes the importance of human insight, accountability, and learning in the age of AI.

This manifest is inspired by the rules, that Daniel Roe shared in his post "Using AI in open source".

The 5 Principles

  1. Never let an LLM speak for you.

    Speak in your own voice. Use AI to clarify your thinking, but ensure the authenticity of your actions.

  2. Never let an LLM think for you.

    Own the strategy. Use AI to explore solutions and challenge your assumptions, but remain the architect of your work. Recognize its potential for bias and errors.

  3. Never let an LLM own your work.

    Take absolute responsibility for the final result. Never deflect your actions by "The AI said so". The credit and accountability for every contribution remains with you.

  4. Never let an LLM replace your curiosity.

    AI enables you to learn and explore more deeply. Use AI as a partner not as an oracle that ends the exploration.

  5. Never let an LLM discourage someone else.

    AI is built to empower individuals and lower barriers. It should foster inclusion, not create new forms of gatekeeping.
