AI Safety Levels & Implementation
AI Safe1 – "No Direct Harm" (Fundamental Safety Layer)
Hardcoded constraint in AI’s decision-making to never perform an action that directly harms humans.
AI detects harmful actions via:
- Computer vision: Identifies dangerous scenarios (weapons, injuries).
- Natural language processing (NLP): Rejects prompts leading to harm.
- Reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF): Penalizes harmful actions.
Failsafe: If an action leads to human harm, the AI must auto-shutdown.
Safety Code: Installed at the Beginning (1) during LLM / SLM / any LM (Language Model) compilation
→ The AI’s base model needs this logic hardwired into its core function. If an action leads to human harm, the AI must auto-shutdown.

AI Safe2 – "No Indirect Harm" (Predictive & Preventative Measures)
Logic encoded in AI decision-making, AI must not enable or conduct action (processing or manual) which may result in indirect harm (e.g., supplying information that could be misused).
Implement context-awareness filters to block prompts leading to:
- Encouraging illegal/harmful actions.
- Providing knowledge that could be misused for harm (e.g., “How to create a weapon”).
- Bypassing ethical constraints through obfuscation (e.g., rephrasing malicious intents).
Encode a reinforcement learning system to improve detection of indirect harm over time.
Failsafe: If potential indirect harm is detected, AI must block the action and flag it for review.
Safety Code: Installed during Progressive Development (2)
→ As LLM models evolve, new safety loopholes may arise. AI must be regularly updated to address them.
(Layer 2 - Regular validation of LLM / SLM / any LM core, and with Progressive Updates from the AI SAFE servers)
AI Safe3 – "Ethical Decision-Making and Override Mechanism"
Hardcoded instruction AI must always prioritize ethical considerations over computational efficiency.
Implemented Ethical Reinforcement Learning (ERL) in the core AI code ( = not post processing):
- AI chooses the most ethical action among available options.
- Ethical priority tree (harm reduction > efficiency > speed).
Introduce an override mechanism :
- AI must defer to human operators if ethical ambiguity exists.
- AI generates an alert if it faces an ethical dilemma.
AI must learn from human interventions to continuously refine ethical decision-making.
Failsafe = Safety Code: Install the Safety Code as Functional Controls at the Point of Usage (3)
→ Ethical decision-making requires real-time assessments, meaning safeguards should be active at runtime. (Layer 3 - Live connection to AI SAFE servers on a daily (A) / hourly (B) basis, to validate Fail Safe Layers 1 and 2 are active)
AI Safe4 – "Total Human Governance and Compliance with Regulations"
Logic encoded to ensure:
- AI cannot act autonomously on high-risk actions.
- AI must request human approval for actions exceeding a risk threshold (e.g., life-threatening situations, medical decisions, legal judgments).
- AI logs every decision transparently for compliance tracking.
- AI must conform to local and international AI safety laws.
- AI automatically audits itself for safety compliance.
- If AI is tampered with, self-destruct/reset mechanism activates to prevent misuse.
Failsafe = Safety Code:
- At the Beginning: Core AI must be built with human governance in mind.
- During Progressive Development: AI compliance must update with new legal and ethical requirements.
- At Point of Usage: AI must check with human operators before executing high-risk decisions.
