Design Your Personal Ethics Schema or Be an Invisible Human

Greg Twemlow's article introduces the concepts of a Personal Ethics Schema (PES) and a Personal Ethics Protocol (PEP) as crucial frameworks for individuals to remain "legible" and influential in an increasingly AI-driven world. The PES is envisioned as a dynamic document outlining one's core values, ethical philosophy, and life purpose, enabling AI agents to understand and act in alignment with human intentions. Complementing this, the PEP defines the rules for how AI agents access and interpret the PES. Twemlow argues that by proactively defining their ethical frameworks, individuals and businesses can ensure they are not overlooked by autonomous AI systems making decisions, thus preserving human agency and relevance.
