Microsoft's AI rulebook: readable thinking, no inner life, and definitely no rights

Microsoft has published a code of conduct for its AI models, prioritizing human control over autonomy and performance. AI chief Mustafa Suleyman stated, "If it isn’t safe we shouldn’t build it." Unlike Anthropic, Microsoft rejects any form of artificial inner life or claims to consciousness for its models. This stance reflects the company's commitment to safety and ethics in AI development. This code is a significant step toward building trust in AI, influencing how intelligent systems are developed and implemented in the future. The focus on safety could set new industry standards, attracting the attention of decision-makers.
