Microsoft AI drafts Humanist AI Code of Conduct: human control over capability, no AI rights
imjustnewatai · x · 2026-09-15
Microsoft AI has published a draft "Humanist AI Code of Conduct," set to become the primary governing document for its MAI models.
- Core principle: human control takes priority over maximum model capability; the code explicitly rejects rights and welfare for AI models
- Still under development and not used to train models today; opened for public consultation, with a revised version planned by year-end to guide model development in 2027 and beyond
- The poster raises a key question: will that commitment survive if a rival grants models more autonomy and pulls ahead?
