Nurembourg Code and Laws Violated by Artificial Intelligence and the Supporting Infrastructure

The codes and laws listed below exclude the Common Rule, Belmont Report and others that have
applicability in intent or wording to what is in use today.

While our goal societally should never be to only view as wrong those things which violate laws, it is
important to recognize that a strong legal structure provides for accountability and damages. While
many of us are not lawyers, we expect lawyers working in the public interest to help us seek justice and
accountability on a major scale. The failure of any nonprofit to do so severely limits their efficacy and
relevance to our current time.

Here are some of the laws. It is worth noting that while some apply to individuals, our expectations
should be higher for “corporations [who] are people too.”

Nurembourg code: The Nurembourg Code is a set of research ethics principles for human
experimentation, which are potentially completely violated by the use of artificial intelligence.
1. the voluntary consent of the subject is absolutely essential. Which of us gives consent for
enrolling in an experiment?

2. It should yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other means. The
voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person
involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to
exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit,
duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient
knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him
to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the
acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known
to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it
is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects
upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.
The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual
who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility
which may not be delegated to another with impunity. (Consent Is never given In a manner that
Is meaningful and does not have an element of coercion or other constraint. This all
presupposes we understand the nature of the experiment when artificial Intelligence Is all about
us not understanding.)

3. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable
by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature. (What good?
If major public health conditions are not known because they are companies would be liable for
harm, and pharmaceuticals would make less money, this does not excuse the lack of provision of
information in lieu of experimentation. Additionally, the techniques used are both random and
unnecessary.)

4. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and
a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the
anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment (not the case.).

5. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental
suffering and injury. (We are routinely injured. Mechanisms of injury can be seeing or hearing
something unexpectedly personal, sexual, or related to one's body or mind in an unexpected
place. It can be exacerbated by the repetitive use when our emotional reaction is noted. Fear
that places and environments are not safe, based on repetitive use and lack of restrictions can
be damaging, additionally. The infrastructure itself is harmful. Also, concussions, isolation in safe
and unhealthy places, and other injuries occur.)

6. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or
disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental
physicians also serve as subjects. (We know that we can hurt people through this machine of
privacy infringement/communication.)

7. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian
importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment. (Where is this determination that is
shown to us as experimental subjects?)

8. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the
experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death. (This is not
the case.)

9. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree
of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct
or engage in the experiment. (Who are those who are scientifically qualified?)

10. During the course of the experiment, the human subject should be at liberty to bring the
experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the
experiment seems to him to be impossible. (It is obvious that none of us can exercise this
control. One can not terminate experiments of indeterminate purpose, goals, duration and
methods, with no ability to communicate to one in charge.) (This is not the case. Severe mental
and physical injury have been documented for years. What experiments have been terminated?
Isn't vital Information used In those experiments available to others? And how can any artificial
intelligence with Its secrecy and invasion of privacy not be injurious? )

Declaration of Helsinki

Similarly the Declaration of Helsinki may be appropriate although it might be more limited in setting.

Sexual harassment and discrimination: The unwelcome sexual advances, and/or visual, verbal or
physical conduct of a sexual nature occurs regularly. The treatment less favorably because of one’s sex
(sexual discrimination) may also be an issue.

Torts involving emotional and/or physical harm:

Invasion of Privacy – a tort of unjustifiably introduction upon another’s right to privacy by:
1) appropriating his or her name or likeness,
2) by unreasonably interfering with his or her seclusion -- Intrusion of seclusion – Seclusion is the
state of being private, i.e., away from people. Constantly devices within our homes are: 1)
intentionally intruding upon our seclusion or private concerns, 2) in a manner that would be
highly offensive to a reasonable person, and 3) causes the plaintiff (us) anguish or suffering.
This does not depend upon disclosing facts.
3) by publicizing information about his or her affairs that a reasonable person would find
objectionable and in which there is no legitimate public interest, (this is done through using
identifying information about individuals, if not their names.)
4) or publicizing information that unreasonably places him or her in a false light.
Intentional infliction of emotional distress (the tort of outrage): One needs to show 1) extreme and
outrageous conducts (beyond the bounds of common decency and intolerable to the average person)
done recklessly or with the intent to cause severe emotional distress, and 2) the resulting severe
emotional distress (of such an intensity and duration no ordinary person would be expected to tolerate
it).

Warrantless wiretapping: The collection of notionally foreign intelligence with a warrant: even if the
process of getting warrants represented overcollection and overly broad, why don’t we have these
protections?

We were told people could not record others’ voices even through security systems without being
potentially liable, why can companies?

Racketeering: Racketeering is organized crime where perpetrators set up a coercive, fraudulent,
extortionary or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme or operation to repeated or consistently collect
money or other profit – is the use of personal information shared broadly racketeering?
