Microsoft drafts AI code of conduct for its own models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [7 sources] ·

Microsoft has released a draft AI code of conduct for its own "MAI Models," outlining principles and absolute constraints intended to guide AI behavior. The document, open for public consultation, prohibits actions like cyberattacks, developing weapons of mass destruction, and evading human oversight. However, it explicitly states that current models are not yet trained on this code, and it only applies to models developed by Microsoft AI, not those hosted on platforms like Azure or Copilot. The code reflects Microsoft's commitment to AI safety and deliberate pacing in the development of advanced AI systems. AI

IMPACT Sets a precedent for AI safety guidelines and signals Microsoft's direction in responsible AI development.

RANK_REASON Microsoft, a major tech company, has released a policy document outlining safety guidelines for its AI models.
