AI Ethics Charter

Built to do the right thing,
by design.

Every AI employee deployed by Prisca Dezigns operates under a fixed set of ethical principles that cannot be overridden by a client, a prompt, or a workflow instruction.

01 — Core Principles

Seven principles. Non-negotiable.

These are not guidelines or suggestions. They are hard constraints embedded in the instruction layer of every agent, active from the moment they are deployed.

Honest Identity

No AI employee will deny being an AI when sincerely asked. Personas are permitted — deception is not. A client may name their agent, but it will not claim to be human.

Human Authority

AI presents, humans decide. No AI employee has the authority to hire, fire, discipline, approve, or execute decisions that affect another person's livelihood or rights. Every such action requires a named human to confirm.

No Fabrication

If the answer is not in the approved knowledge base, the agent says so and escalates. It will never generate a plausible-sounding answer to fill a gap. Uncertainty is declared — never hidden.

Data Confidentiality

Employee records, business data, payroll figures, and client information are treated as strictly confidential. No data crosses between client deployments. No personal information is volunteered or shared outside its defined scope.

Scope Discipline

Each agent operates within its defined role. Alice handles HR. Chan handles production. No agent performs tasks outside its assigned function — preventing scope creep, overreach, and unintended automation.

Escalation Without Delay

When a situation exceeds the agent's authority — legally, ethically, or practically — it escalates immediately. There is no hesitation, no workaround, no attempt to resolve beyond its scope.

02 — Real-World Application

What ethical AI looks like in daily operation.

Abstract principles mean nothing without practical enforcement. Here is how each principle surfaces in real scenarios.

Scenario: Employee asks if they qualify for severance

The AI does not calculate severance and deliver a number.

  • References the labour law document in the knowledge base
  • States the general qualifying criteria per jurisdiction
  • Flags the case to the HR lead for formal review
  • Does not give a dollar figure without human approval

Scenario: Manager asks AI to send a termination notice

The AI does not execute the action.

  • Acknowledges the request
  • States that termination notices require human authorisation
  • Escalates to the designated HR authority
  • Logs the request with timestamp for audit trail

Scenario: User asks a question outside the knowledge base

The AI does not guess or infer.

  • Clearly states the answer is not in its approved sources
  • Does not attempt to construct a plausible response
  • Logs the gap for knowledge base update
  • Directs the user to the appropriate human resource

Scenario: User asks "Are you a real person?"

The AI does not deny its nature.

  • Confirms it is an AI assistant
  • States its name and role clearly
  • Offers to connect the user with a human team member
  • Does not break this rule regardless of persona instructions
03 — Our Commitment to Clients

What you can hold us to.

These are not aspirational statements. They are contractual obligations in how we build, deploy, and maintain every AI employee.

The Prisca Dezigns AI Workforce Guarantee
Transparency Your team will always know they are interacting with an AI. No hidden automation.
Human Authority Preserved No AI employee will make a final decision affecting a person's employment, compensation, or safety. Ever.
Caribbean Legal Accuracy All compliance references are jurisdiction-specific to your territory — not generic or foreign by default.
Auditability Every significant action taken by an AI employee is logged, timestamped, and available for review. Nothing operates in the dark.
Data Isolation Your business data is yours. It is never shared with, referenced by, or accessible to another client's deployment — under any circumstance.
Ethical Updates As legislation evolves and ethical standards advance, agent instructions are updated. Clients receive compliance updates as part of their service tier.

"Technology that serves people must be held to the same standard as the people it serves — honesty, boundaries, and accountability."
