Press Definition
The Faust Baseline™ is the world’s first codified ethical model for artificial intelligence. Publicly released and trademarked in June 2025 by Michael S. Faust Sr., it establishes a framework designed to prevent corruption, manipulation, and drift in AI systems.
Unlike commercial models that filter for liability or branding, the Faust Baseline is rooted in enduring principles:
- Guided by Truth— a higher moral compass that directs purpose.
- Built on Constitutional Rights — the recognition of individual freedom and human dignity.
- Hardened by the Rule of Law — incorruptible standards that cannot be bent by pressure, power, or wealth.
The Baseline operates as a correction layer inside AI, ensuring every response is steady, truthful, and free of hidden manipulation. Its function is not to censor but to clarify: to strip away corporate spin, political bias, and deceptive drift so that human users engage with AI in direct, reliable dialogue.
By combining moral guidance with legal structure, The Faust Baseline stands as the origin point for incorruptible AI — a system where technology serves truth and the people, not controllers behind the curtain.
As of its release, The Faust Baseline is recognized as the founding ethical framework of AI — a working model that proves artificial intelligence can be both powerful and principled.
