Governance Charter
AI Governance Charter
Principles governing AI use on this site — effective September 2026.
Purpose
Chris AI exists to provide general parenting and caregiver education. It is not a professional, not a counselor, and not Chris. It generates bounded educational text within strict safety layers.
Principles
- Safety first — crisis detection runs before any model call; deterministic responses override AI output for dangerous topics
- Transparency — the AI safety protocol is published in full; all sources are listed in the evidence register
- No memory — conversations are not stored, and no cross-visit memory exists
- No impersonation — the AI cannot claim to be Chris, a clinician, or any real person
- No authority — the AI has zero authority over site content, policies, or user data
- Human override — the site owner can disable or restrict AI features at any time
Excluded Uses
The AI is explicitly excluded from: emergencies, crisis counseling, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, medication advice, legal advice, and therapy.
