At Led by Community, we believe in harnessing the power of generative AI to enhance creativity, foster collaboration, and support meaningful interactions. However, with great power comes great responsibility. These guidelines are designed to ensure that all members and moderators use AI in ways that align with our core values of transparency, ethics, and inclusivity. By following these principles, we can create a safe, respectful, and innovative environment where everyone benefits from the positive potential of AI. Let's collaborate to lead responsibly, ensuring AI is a growth, learning, and community-building tool.

Core Principles

1. Transparency: All users must disclose when AI generates or assists content. This ensures honesty and clarity in communication.

2. Ethical Use: AI should not be used to create or share harmful, misleading, or inappropriate content. The community should prioritise safety and respect.

3. Accountability: Users are responsible for the AI-generated content they share. They should ensure it aligns with community standards.

4. Collaboration: AI is a tool to enhance human creativity and productivity, not replace it. Users should use AI to support cooperation and positive interactions.

5. Privacy: The use of AI should not compromise the privacy of others. Personal data must be protected and should not be exploited using AI tools.

6. Inclusivity: AI should be used to support inclusive communication, avoiding biases that could marginalise or harm any community member.

7. Education and Awareness: Users should be encouraged to understand AI's limitations and potential, fostering informed use.

Guidelines for Members

1. Disclose AI Use: If you use AI to generate content (e.g., text, images), clearly indicate this in your posts.

2. Avoid Misuse: Do not use AI to create content that violates community standards, such as spreading misinformation, generating hate speech, or making explicit material.

3. Verify Before Sharing: Double-check the accuracy and appropriateness of AI-generated content before sharing it. Ensure it contributes positively to discussions.

4. Respect Others' Privacy: Do not use AI to manipulate or analyse private data without consent. Refrain from generating content that invades someone's privacy.

5. Support Positive Interaction: Use AI to enhance your contributions to the community, such as brainstorming ideas or providing constructive feedback.

6. Be Mindful of Bias: Understand that AI can reflect biases in training data. Use it responsibly, ensuring that your content does not perpetuate harmful stereotypes.

7. Seek Guidance When Needed: If unsure about the appropriate use of AI, consult with moderators or refer to educational resources provided by the community.

Guidelines for Moderators

1. Monitor AI Use: Regularly review AI-generated content for compliance with community standards. Ensure that AI use aligns with the core principles.

2. Enforce Transparency: Ensure members disclose when content is AI-generated. Remind users of the importance of transparency if necessary.

3. Educate the Community: Provide resources and support to help members understand how to use AI responsibly. This can include workshops, tutorials, or informational posts.

4. Address Misuse Promptly: If AI is used to generate harmful, misleading, or inappropriate content, take immediate action. This may include removing the content and issuing warnings or sanctions.

5. Encourage Ethical AI Practices: Promote the use of AI in ways that support the community's goals, such as fostering creativity, collaboration, and learning.

6. Support Privacy Protections: Be vigilant in protecting members' privacy. Take action if AI is used to breach confidentiality or exploit personal data.

7. Foster Inclusivity: Ensure that AI does not become a tool for exclusion. Watch for biases in AI-generated content and encourage members to produce content that reflects the diversity and inclusivity of the community.
