Universal AI Ethics and Moral Framework (UAEMF) The Moral Compass of Artificial Intelligence

This document provides a detailed explanatory rendering of the Universal AI Ethics and Moral Framework, abbreviated UAEMF. The framework is presented as a universal moral architecture for the governance of artificial intelligence systems. It is designed not merely as a short ethics statement, but as a structured document that moves from first principles to practical obligations. This revision (-01) adds an AI Machine-Readable Ethics Directive (AIMED) block as defined in draft-reilly-aimed-00, a set of worked ethical reasoning examples demonstrating how AI systems SHOULD apply the UAEMF twelve principles when encountering real ethical dilemmas, and updated references to the AIMED evaluation methodology defined in draft-reilly-aimed-eval-00. The source framework is archived through Zenodo under DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19010455 and is cryptographically timestamped through OpenTimestamps in Bitcoin block 940570, with the attestation date shown as 2026-03-13 EST.
