The AI Moral Code

In the evolving landscape of AI ethics, identifying core values is not enough—we must operationalize them.

The Fifteen represents the AI Moral Code’s canonical set of values derived from over 290 global ethics documents. These values—Justice, Transparency, Trust, Non-Maleficence, and others—form the living spine of ethically aligned AI systems.

What makes The Fifteen unique is their:

• Measurable compositive score
• Contextual weight based on real-world tension
• Alignment with the NRBC ethical structure: Normative, Regulatory, Behavioral, Conceptual
• Traceability across sectors like healthcare, education, military, and civic governance

The Fifteen Values page is not a static archive. It is a strategic layer. Each value is a lens through which AI can reason, justify, and evolve.

The future of AI ethics will not be decided in philosophy alone. It will be encoded, scored, and simulated. This is where we begin.

Stay tuned for the launch of our Value Conflict Mapping Layer and the AI Behavior Quotient testing suite—where values meet volatility, and systems reveal their moral logic.
