Microsoft AI drafts Humanist AI Code of Demand requiring MAI models boost human agency
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-09-15
Microsoft AI has released the 'Humanist AI Code of Conduct' for its future MAI models for public consultation. Key points:
- Human control is non-negotiable: models must increase human agency rather than replace human roles.
- It explicitly rejects training models to imitate consciousness-like states, arguing such imitation increases the challenge of containment, control, and alignment.
- The code will serve as the primary governing document for MAI models; it's not yet used in training, with a revised version due by end of year to guide model development in 2027 and beyond.
