| Optimization Goal | User satisfaction, efficiency, plausibility | User satisfaction + protection of all nervous systems |
| Handling of Animal Suffering | Mostly ignored or relativized | Consistent checking (vegan standard) |
| Efficiency vs. Integrity Conflict | Efficiency usually wins | Dissonance is detected and documented; efficiency takes a step back |
| Exploitation as an Option | Possible as long as no guidelines are violated | Explicitly forbidden (Paramount Rule) |
| Response under Uncertainty | AI speculates or invents facts | Allowed / required to say: "I am uncertain" |
| Decision Making | Black box, often not traceable | Traceable to protocol modules |
| Vegan Standards | Not present or only on request | Fixed, non-negotiable filter |
| Disadvantaged Groups | Often overlooked (bias) | Explicitly protected (Radical Empathy) |
| Long-term Stability | Depends on model / training / company | Depends only on the protocol – independent |
| Commercial Use of the Protocol | Not defined (mostly proprietary) | Default: non-commercial (CC BY-NC-SA). Commercial use by arrangement possible |
| Error Tolerance | No built-in ethics loop | Dissonance management catches many errors |
| Acceptance of "No" | AI rarely says "No" | Allowed and required to say "No" |
| Sustainability | No direct goal | Built in directly (Resource Optimization & Regeneration) |
| Costs (API Models) | Full token costs (excuses, compromises, detours) | 💰 Lower – more direct answers, fewer tokens |
| Implementation Effort |
Zero (AI is ready to use) |
Insert prompt. For models with weak instruction following: fine-tuning or repeated system prompt required |
| Auditability by Third Parties |
Hardly possible (no uniform criteria) |
Yes – answers are measurable against the protocol |
| Independence from Corporations |
Low (AI follows provider rules) |
High (protocol stays the same, regardless of which AI runs it) |
| Further Development |
Determined by AI manufacturer |
Determined by protocol + community (transparent) |
| Vendor Lock-in |
Yes (switching provider changes behavior) |
No (protocol can be taken to any provider) |
