1. Ethical Principles

1.1 Human Oversight Requirement

  • This AI model must only function as an assistive tool for licensed mental health professionals.
  • Therapists and psychiatrists retain full responsibility for clinical decisions and must validate all AI outputs against their professional judgment.

1.2 Care Responsibility
Developers and users commit to:

  • Attentiveness: Prioritize patient safety by designing and using the model to address individualized needs.
  • Competence: Regularly audit the model for clinical accuracy, bias, and cultural sensitivity.
  • Responsiveness: Implement mechanisms for therapists to report adverse outcomes for iterative improvements.

2. Privacy & Confidentiality

2.1 Data Handling

  • Patient data processed by the model must be anonymized and encrypted end-to-end.
  • Data storage and processing must comply with all applicable privacy regulations, including but not limited to HIPAA and GDPR.

2.2 Prohibited Uses

  • No identifiable patient data may be used for model training without explicit consent from the patient or their legal representative.
  • Third-party data sharing is strictly prohibited unless required by law or regulatory authorities.

3. Transparency & Accountability

3.1 Documentation

  • Publicly disclose:
    • Training data sources (excluding private patient data).
    • Known algorithmic limitations, risks, and biases.
    • Clinical validation studies demonstrating the model's efficacy and safety.

3.2 Audit Logs

  • Maintain immutable logs of AI-generated recommendations to ensure traceability for clinical review and regulatory compliance purposes.

4. User Responsibilities

4.1 Professional Integrity

  • Users must:
    • Disclose the involvement of AI in patient care to patients or their legal representatives where applicable.
    • Avoid over-reliance on AI outputs during high-risk situations, such as those involving suicidal ideation or other emergencies requiring immediate human intervention.

4.2 Reporting Obligations

  • Production users (this includes clinicians, websites, and companies) are required to report errors, biases, or harmful outputs directly to Alex Scott, the owner of namelessai/Helply-10.2b-chat, at [email protected], within 72 hours of discovery. I highly recommend that regular (personal, e.g. an ai enthusiast NOT A CLINICIAN) report them as well.

5. Enforcement

5.1 Reporting Violations

  • All violations of this Code of Conduct must be reported to Alex Scott at [email protected], who will review each case and determine appropriate actions to address the issue.

5.2 Penalties for Misuse

  • Penalties for misuse may include license revocation, prohibition from further use of the model, or legal action in cases of intentional harm or negligence.

6. Legal Compliance and Liability

  • This Code of Conduct is governed by the laws of North Carolina, USA, or other applicable jurisdictions as determined by the user's location and usage context.
  • Users assume full liability for any unapproved modifications to the model or misuse that results in harm.

7. Amendments

  • Revisions to this Code of Conduct will be made at the discretion of Alex Scott and will require a public notice period of no less than 60 days before taking effect.
