1. Core principle
LENIA is designed to increase clarity and autonomy, not to make decisions for a person. The product should help users see alternatives, organize context and reflect more effectively while preserving human agency.
LENIA · Legal
Social Impact
Principles for human agency, safety, privacy, accessibility and responsible AI use.
2. AI with clear limits
The design avoids presenting AI as an absolute authority. Responses may be wrong, and the product should not replace qualified professionals in health, psychology, law, finance or emergency situations.
3. Lenses as perspectives, not labels
Psychology, Philosophy, Meditation, Spirituality and Faith are used as different perspectives for reflection. LENIA should not turn these Lenses into diagnosis, fixed identity or universal claims of belief.
4. Privacy by design
Features such as memory, voice and camera should have a clear purpose and explicit controls. Camera use is optional and visual context should be ephemeral by default. The product should limit collection and retention to what is needed for the experience and security.
5. Accessibility and inclusion
The experience aims for clear language, readable typography, language options and low-friction interfaces. Product evolution should consider different ages, abilities, cultural contexts and access conditions, avoiding exclusion through unnecessary complexity.
6. Economic sustainability without manipulation
Plans may limit usage space and intensive features, but should not create anxiety mechanics, compulsive consumption or false scarcity. Pricing, trial and usage-limit communication should be understandable and verifiable.
7. Commitment to evolve
Social impact is not a static page. As LENIA grows, safety, quality, accessibility and complaint metrics should guide improvements to the product, documentation and user controls.
