moral guidelines
Rules for conduct
Moral guidelines are principles that direct behavior toward what is considered right or good.
They may come from religion, philosophy, cultural tradition, or personal reflection.
Unlike strict rules, guidelines suggest rather than command: The organization published moral guidelines for artificial intelligence development.
The phrase often appears when someone wants to invoke ethics without claiming absolute authority.
