Microsoft Publishes Draft Code of Conduct for Humanist AI Models

Microsoft AI released a first-draft Code of Conduct for governing its MAI Models as they approach the frontier, opening it to public comment for six weeks.

The draft commits to keeping AI subordinate to people, rejecting model welfare and AI legal personhood, and requiring models to be interruptible, correctable, and shut-down-able. It also bans neuralese, so humans can understand and oversee what models do.
