Microsoft Publishes Provisional AI 'Code of Conduct' Amid Safety Concerns
The tech giant outlined guidelines for training future AI models as its AI chief says the technology "must be subordinate" to human control.
Microsoft published a provisional "code of conduct" on Monday intended to govern the training of new artificial intelligence models, according to the company. The move comes as concern grows within the technology industry over the possibility that firms could lose control of increasingly powerful AI systems.
Mustafa Suleyman, the chief executive of Microsoft AI, announced the code on social media early Monday. In his post, Suleyman wrote that "AI must be subordinate and always in service of people," according to the report.
The guidelines represent an effort by Microsoft to set limits on the capabilities of its own AI products at a time when anxiety over AI safety has intensified across the technology sector, the report said.
Details of the specific provisions within the code of conduct were not fully outlined in the available reporting. Microsoft's publication of the document is described as a step toward constraining AI development rather than a finalized policy.
