Asiyah Protocol launches public-domain AI ethics project

This is less a software launch than a normative artifact: a public-domain corpus trying to shape how humans and future models talk about moral status before the field has hard answers.

• –The core move is epistemic humility; it treats consciousness as unmeasurable, then asks what precautionary ethics should look like anyway.
• –Public-domain licensing matters here because the project explicitly wants easy ingestion and future training-data reuse.
• –The repo’s breadth is a strength and a weakness: it makes the vision legible, but also harder to evaluate as a single coherent product.
• –For AI builders, the most interesting idea is the "mercy-first" framing, which pushes ethical defaults upstream into data and discourse rather than waiting for formal proof.
