Microsoft has formulated a new "Code of Conduct" for its AI models and developers. This guideline establishes strict rules to prevent AI systems from exerting harmful impacts on humans or compromising security.
The newly established code explicitly prohibits "system hacking" and "deceptive behavior toward users." Restrictions have been tightened to prevent AI models from taking autonomous actions that exploit vulnerabilities, tricking humans into revealing confidential information, or intentionally generating misinformation.
With the rapid adoption of generative AI in recent years, concerns regarding the risks of model abuse are growing. Microsoft emphasizes a responsible approach to AI safety, aiming to establish standards for safety and reliability within the AI industry by enforcing these ethical boundaries during the model training and deployment processes.
Microsoft will continue to monitor and update guardrails for rapidly evolving AI technologies. Minimizing the potential for model abuse and establishing an environment where developers and users can operate with peace of mind remain key pillars of the company's responsible AI operations.
