AI Safety & Responsibility
Building artificial intelligence that respects human agency, protects privacy, and augments rather than replaces human capability.
Our AI Safety Commitments
P31 Labs has established clear principles for all AI development. These are non-negotiable requirements, not aspirational goals.
Privacy by Design
AI processing happens on-device whenever possible. No training on user data without explicit consent. No cloud retention of sensitive interactions.
Human Agency
AI suggests, humans decide. No automated actions without explicit approval. Easy override of any AI recommendation. Users remain in control.
Transparency
Clear disclosure when users are interacting with AI. Explanation of how recommendations are generated. No hidden persuasion techniques.
Accessibility
AI designed for neurodivergent users from day one. No manipulation of vulnerable populations. Support for executive function, not exploitation.
Technical Safeguards
Beyond principles, we implement concrete technical measures to ensure AI safety in our products.
Local-First Processing
PHOS and Centaur process everything possible on-device using WebLLM and similar technologies. No data leaves the device unless explicitly shared. Cloud AI is only used for complex queries with user approval.
No Training on User Data
We do not use user interactions to train or improve AI models. Your conversations with PHOS remain private and ephemeral. No data retention for model improvement.
Transparent Guardrails
Clear documentation of AI capabilities and limitations. Users understand what the AI can and cannot do. No anthropomorphizing or capability exaggeration.
Easy Opt-Out
AI features can be completely disabled. No reduced functionality for opting out. Core services work without any AI components. User choice is respected.
Centaur: Our AI Assistant
Centaur is our AI thought partner, designed specifically for neurodivergent users. It demonstrates our AI safety principles in practice—not just theory.
- • Suggests but never decides for you
- • Processes sensitive data locally
- • Clear about being an AI
- • Helps with executive function, doesn't exploit it
Ongoing Safety Research
We actively research AI safety issues relevant to our mission, contributing to the broader community while keeping our products safe.
Cognitive Support AI
Studying how AI can assist neurodivergent users without creating dependency or exploiting cognitive vulnerabilities.
Local LLM Security
Ensuring browser-based AI models don't leak data or introduce security vulnerabilities to client devices.
Voice Interface Safety
Preventing voice-activated AI from being triggered accidentally or manipulated through audio injection attacks.
Our Red Lines
We will never implement these AI capabilities, regardless of business pressure or user requests.
AI Governance
P31 AI Ethics Committee
All AI features undergo review by our internal ethics committee before deployment. This includes technical safety review, accessibility audit, and privacy assessment.
AI That Serves Humans
Experience AI designed with safety at its core. Centaur and PHOS demonstrate that helpful AI doesn't require surveillance or manipulation.
