Last week I asked every executive, builder, and AI vendor to stop treating agentic AI like the Jurassic Park scientists treated dinosaurs — "You patented it, packaged it, slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it." The response in my DMs was loud and consistent: "Okay Dennis — how do I actually grade my AI vendor? How do I know if my in-house build has a moral compass or a blank stare?" So we built you the tool. 👇 The AI Code of Ethics Self-Assessment — a 10-question scorecard you can take in under three minutes. No email. No signup. No lead form. For each of Notovision's Ten Commandments of AI Ethics, you answer two honest questions about your vendor (or your in-house team): ✅ Evidence — can they actually prove they meet this commandment? 📊 Coverage — across your AI use cases, how much of your stack actually follows this practice today? The scorecard weighs your answers and drops you into one of four buckets: 🔴 Very Poor (<25%)** — Strongly consider dropping your AI provider. If it's in-house, call us. 🟠 **Poor (25–50%)** — Reconsider your provider. If it's in-house, we can help you close the gaps. 🟡 **Needs Improvement (50–80%)** — Push your vendor to do better. If it's in-house, let's raise the bar together. 🟢 **Good (>80%) — Congratulations. We should talk and compare notes. This is the part that will sting: most AI buyers I've spoken to this year would score Poor or worse — and they had no idea until they answered the questions out loud. If you're a CIO, CTO, CISO, Chief AI Officer, or the executive who signs the contract — take the survey before you renew that AI vendor. If you're a builder, take it on the agent you shipped last quarter. If you're a vendor, take it on yourself before your customer does. The lunchbox is already on the shelf. The least we can do is read the label. 👉 Take the AI Code of Ethics Self-Assessment: https://lnkd.in/gYmYBuvk 📜 Read the Ten Commandments: https://lnkd.in/gD2q3muq Built with the same standards Linda Wittich, Jim Barnebee, and I hold every Notovision agent to.

🚨 RED ALERT to every executive, builder, and AI vendor reading this: Remember the movie - Jurassic Park? Dr. Ian Malcolm in the lunch scene: "I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here: it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step… You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it." "You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it." Now look at what's happening with agentic AI��in 2026. Companies are wiring autonomous agents into production, agents that book travel, move money, write code, send email on your behalf, and call other agents. Nobody is asking the hard question: What ethics did this thing learn, and from whom? Most "alignment" today comes down to a training step where humans rank AI answers from best to worst, and the model learns to imitate whatever those humans rewarded. That's where the moral compass — or the lack of one gets baked in. If your vendor can't tell you who did that ranking, what guidelines they followed, and what behaviors got rewarded vs. punished. you don't have a product. 🦖𝗜𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗗𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗘𝗟'𝗦 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗫𝗧, 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗔 𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗜𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗧𝗢𝗥 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗞𝗘𝗬🦖 Should we wait for Congress to fix this? Be serious. They can't agree on social media. They are not coming to save us. That leaves us — the builders, the executives, the vendors. The people who stood on the shoulders of giants and shipped this stuff. The responsibility is ours. At Notovision, we didn't wait. We wrote our own line in the sand: the Notovision AI Code of Ethics — Ten Commandments that govern every agent, every workflow, every recommendation we put in front of a customer. It's the same standard I hold myself to and the same standard my partners Linda Wittich and Jim Barnebee build to, every single day. A few of the commandments we live by: ✅ Cite your sources and explain your methods. ✅ Communicate the plan, then keep users informed at every step. ✅ Acknowledge limits plainly when certainty isn't possible. ✅ Be transparent at all times that you are an AI, not a human. And here's the part that should matter to every executive buying AI right now: If you're a company licensing AI from a vendor — demand their Code of Ethics. In writing. Before you sign. Before you deploy it on your customers, your employees, or your data. Ask for the evidence, audit logs, the proof that a Code of Ai Ethics is in place! 👉 Read the Ten Commandments here: https://lnkd.in/gD2q3muq #AgenticAI #AIEthics #ResponsibleAI #AIGovernance #GenerativeAI #AIStrategy #EnterpriseAI #AILeadership #TechEthics #AIAlignment #CIO #CTO #DigitalTransformation #Notovision #JurassicPark

this is the kind of accountability the industry needs
This is what happens when you stop talking about AI ethics and start measuring it. Dennis turned our Ten Commandments into a three-minute scorecard that any CIO, CTO, or AI buyer can take right now — no signup, no lead form, just honest answers. Proud to be part of the team behind this. Take it and drop your score in the comments — I want to see who's running green.
