The first in history "conscience clause" exempted an employee from the obligation to use AI

Durman received a religious exemption from his university for refusing to use AI tools like ChatGPT, citing moral development concerns. The American Humanist Association supported his case, which was based on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This exemption is notable as it recognizes humanism's protection under the law. However, Durman must still collaborate with AI users and provide materials for such tools, though he is not required to use them himself.
