The NRBC Ethical Value Layers
This section introduces the Normative, Regulatory, Behavioral, and Conceptual value structures that form the backbone of the AI Moral Code. Each image below represents one core component of the NRBC architecture.
Normative Values
These define ethical commitments drawn from belief systems, ideals, and universal moral reasoning.
Regulatory Values
These establish enforceable policies, compliance mechanisms, and localized accountability structures.
Behavioral Values
These illustrate the ethical expectations for AI interaction across social norms, customs, and dispositions.
Conceptual Values
These enable iterative ethical development, model moral prototypes, and govern ethical MLOps over time.
