Show HN: A Human-Centered Protocol for Containment-Aware AI Design

2 points

a year ago

I’ve written a small protocol for engineers and researchers working on advanced AI systems LLMs, agents, simulators, where alignment can’t be assumed.

It’s called the "AI Human Protection Protocol". It’s not a manifesto or policy paper. It’s a design-layer spec focused on recursive coherence, boundary maintenance, and preserving human agency as systems scale.

I've done some evaluation against common symbolic failure patterns, including recursive collapse scenarios like Roko’s Basilisk, Surveillance Capitalism, Technocracy, Synthetic Gods, Simulated Suffering (Hellbox), 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Matrix... all the classics.

It’s meant as a practical foundation for containment-aware system design, simple enough to implement, general enough to extend.

If you’re working in the space and want to help pressure-test or improve it, I’d appreciate feedback. Especially from folks who’ve thought deeply about recursion, autonomy, or edge-case behaviour in aligned systems.
