AI & Automation Ethics, Model Usage & Accountability Policy

Effective Date: July 30, 2025 Applies To: All AI systems, bots, automated workflows, and machine learning models deployed across CrownThrive platforms, including but not limited to NeuralCraft, Thrive AI Studio, CrownLytics, ThriveOpt, and CHLOM™-powered systems.

1. Purpose

CrownThrive embraces automation to improve scalability, personalization, and efficiency. However, we are committed to ensuring our use of AI aligns with:

  • Ethical deployment
  • Transparent disclosures
  • Fairness and anti-bias standards
  • Data integrity and informed user interaction

2. AI Use Transparency

  • All AI-generated content, chatbots, or automated agents must be clearly labeled (e.g., “Powered by AI” or “Automated Assistant”)
  • Users must be informed when decisions (e.g., pricing, scheduling, moderation) are partially or fully automated
  • NeuralCraft bots are disclosed as non-human, with disclaimers available on their usage interfaces

3. Consent & Interaction Expectations

  • Users interacting with AI on any CrownThrive platform are considered to have opted in via usage or platform acknowledgment
  • Sensitive topics (legal, financial, medical) will include disclaimers noting AI is not a licensed provider
  • No user shall be forced to interact with AI agents when a human alternative is available, unless otherwise agreed upon

4. Ethical Guardrails

  • Models must not promote hate speech, misinformation, abuse, or biased outputs
  • AI systems must be reviewed quarterly for harmful drift, bias reinforcement, or hallucination
  • Automated actions (e.g., bans, rejections, approvals) must include human review checkpoints for higher-risk functions

5. Model Sourcing & Training Data

  • All AI tools must disclose their base models (e.g., OpenAI, proprietary models)
  • CrownThrive prohibits training models on copyrighted user content without clear license or user permission
  • NeuralCraft and Thrive AI Studio include native disclaimers for user-submitted data

6. Data & Output Accountability

  • Outputs from AI bots (e.g., chatbot responses, recommendations) are stored for audit
  • Users can request a review of any AI decision that materially impacts them
  • Users may also submit correction or opt-out requests when misrepresentation or incorrect inference occurs

7. Developer & Admin Responsibilities

  • All developers and admins using automation or AI workflows must document:
    • Intended purpose
    • Training source or plugin provider
    • Risk level (low, moderate, critical)
    • Safeguards and fallback measures

These must be submitted to the AI Compliance Lead for internal recordkeeping and published if high impact.

8. CHLOM™, Automation & AI Governance

  • CHLOM™ governance tools that deploy automation for licensing, compliance, or voting must include:
    • Smart contract audit logs
    • AI moderation protocol logs
    • Emergency override access for founders

All AI-powered CHLOM enforcement actions are subject to quarterly review by the Board of Directors and recorded on the governance ledger.

9. Disciplinary Action for Misuse

Any attempt to deploy unauthorized AI tools, tamper with moderation workflows, or manipulate data through automation will result in:

  • Immediate removal of system access
  • Formal investigation by Governance & Compliance
  • Possible criminal referral depending on scope and damage
