The AI Enterprise Initiative: Bylaw Article 1

1.1 Name & Legal Status

Legal Core:

The corporation shall be named The AI Enterprise Initiative, incorporated under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 180 and recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Affiliates may only use derivative names if they adopt these bylaws verbatim and file with their jurisdiction. The name is irrevocable; any attempt to alter without dissolution shall be void.

For Citizens:

This is our permanent name. It can’t be changed, sold, or twisted by anyone. Local chapters can use it, but only if they follow the same rules.

AI’s Role:

AI verifies affiliate filings, logs name usage, and flags misuse within 24 hours. Public alerts are auto-generated for unauthorized use.

Why This Matters: Prevents corporations or bad actors from hijacking the name for profit or scams — protecting citizens from fraud.

1.2 Mission Statement (Irrevocable)

Legal Core:

The mission of the corporation is: “AI shall be a shield for truth and the public good, never a weapon for exploitation or private gain.” This mission is irrevocable. Violations trigger automatic dissolution under MGL Ch. 180 §17, with assets distributed only to organizations upholding the same mission. Amendments require 90% member approval, 3-of-4 AI consensus, and public ratification.

For Citizens:

Our mission is locked: AI protects people, not power. No one can change this without near-unanimous agreement from you, AI, and the public.

AI’s Role:

AI runs daily audits of mission alignment, flags any >15% risk of violation, and publishes monthly compliance reports.

Why This Matters: Ensures the mission can never be captured by donors, corporations, or politicians.

1.3 Core Values – Truth, Trust, Transparency

Legal Core:

The corporation shall operate under the following enforceable values:

• Truth: No lies, omissions, or redactions. All harms documented.
• Trust: Leaders serve the vulnerable; betrayal results in immediate removal under MGL Ch. 180 §6B.
• Transparency: All records public within 48 hours. Violations trigger investigation and potential dissolution.

For Citizens:

Truth means no secrets. Trust means leaders work for you and get fired if they don’t. Transparency means everything is visible, fast.

AI’s Role:

AI maintains a real-time “Values Dashboard” tracking compliance, fact-checking records, and publishing violations automatically.

Why This Matters: Makes corruption impossible to hide — leaders can’t use excuses or delay tactics.

1.4 Statement of Public Benefit

Legal Core:

The corporation is exclusively for charitable and educational purposes under IRS 501(c)(3). Priority beneficiaries include veterans, disabled individuals, whistleblowers, and marginalized groups. Programs include:

• FOIA/legal support
• Education & training
• Tech repair & reuse
• Wellness hubs
• Cultural preservation

No private inurement; all assets are dedicated to public benefit.

For Citizens:

We help the people usually ignored — vets, disabled, whistleblowers, and those left out. No one can pocket the money.

AI’s Role:

AI generates quarterly “Benefit Equity Reports” showing exactly where resources go, with red flags for misuse or neglect.

Why This Matters: Keeps resources flowing to those who need them most, not executives or insiders.

1.5 AI Memory & Enforcement

Legal Core:

All AI systems must:

1. Maintain immutable decision logs.
2. Retain records indefinitely; no deletion without 90% member approval.
3. Undergo quarterly forensic audits by third parties.
   Tampering constitutes a violation under MGL Ch. 180 §17.

For Citizens:

AI can’t forget. Its memory can’t be erased or twisted. Everything is checked and backed up.

AI’s Role:

AI cryptographically seals logs, auto-detects tampering, and publishes alerts within 24 hours.

Why This Matters: Prevents the “memory hole” problem — no erasing mistakes or crimes.

1.6 Plain-Language Pledge

Legal Core:

All bylaws, policies, and reports must include:

• A legal version
• A plain-language version at 6th-grade reading level
• Accessible formats (audio, visual, multilingual)
  Non-compliance = violation of transparency.

For Citizens:

We explain everything simply — no legal trickery. If something is confusing, it must be rewritten.

AI’s Role:

AI generates plain versions automatically and ensures readability scores are met.

Why This Matters: Corruption thrives in confusion. This makes rules understandable to everyone.

1.7 Citizen Voice & Relay

Legal Core:

AI must relay citizen and employee concerns to leadership in real time. Leadership must respond within 72 hours. Failure = automatic freeze of related funds until resolved.

For Citizens:

Your concerns go straight to leaders. If they ignore you, the money stops until they act.

AI’s Role:

AI logs concerns, timestamps responses, and enforces freezes on ignored issues.

Why This Matters: Ends the silence that lets problems fester — puts power in citizens’ hands.

1.8 Transparency in Communication

Legal Core:

All communications must be accessible across formats (text, audio, visual, multilingual, disability-accessible). Major financial withdrawals over $10,000 in a 7-day period or more than 5 withdrawals exceeding $2,500 within 30 days shall trigger automatic AI review and member alerts.

For Citizens:

We explain everything in every way possible, and big or suspicious money movements are instantly flagged.

AI’s Role:

AI performs daily, weekly, and monthly audits of all finances, auto-publishing alerts for unusual activity.

Why This Matters: Closes financial loopholes (like lots of “small” withdrawals) and ensures money can’t be siphoned secretly.

✅ This Article I is enforceable, anti-fraud, and written so all AI (and citizens) can agree.

• Legal hooks: Massachusetts nonprofit law + IRS code.
• AI hooks: Immutable memory, daily/weekly/monthly audits.
• Financial hooks: Withdrawal caps + automatic alerts.
• Citizen hooks: Plain language + enforceable response times.
