This document represents the beginning of a conversation defining Everyday Ethics for AI. Ethics must be embedded in the design and development process from the very beginning of AI creation.

Rather than strive for perfection first, we're releasing this to allow all who read and use this to comment, critique and participate in all future iterations.
