AI ethics, in public.

We use AI tools throughout our work — design, writing, code, and the games themselves. We think that obligates us to be open about how, and to update what we say as the work and the tools both change.

Where AI shows up in our products

• Vacancy is, in fiction, the story of an AI. In production, AI tools assist with art direction, voice, and code.
• Manager Online includes AI opponents (Lord Bean and friends), built on a transparent weighted-choice architecture you can read in our source.
• This website was built with AI collaboration and is iterated on the same way.

What we won't do

• We won't pass off AI-generated voice or likeness of real people as the real person.
• We won't ship AI features without naming them as such.
• We won't use AI to fake reviews, fake community engagement, or astroturf.

What we will keep doing

• Crediting human creators on everything they touched.
• Maintaining transparent, inspectable AI logic in the products where AI is the core mechanic (Manager's opponent AI is in our open source).
• Updating this page when we get something wrong or learn something new.
