Microsoft Releases Code of Conduct for Future AI Models

10:01 AM EDT, 09/14/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Microsoft (MSFT) has posted a document outlining the intended behavior and values of the company's future AI models. The tech giant said the document is being shared for public consultation. "We'll take feedback, iterate on it, and publish a revised version toward the end of the year, which we'll use to guide our model development in 2027 and beyond," Microsoft said. The company said it is "inviting input from everyone to maximize the chances that the AIs we develop avoid harm and deliver the greatest contribution to human flourishing possible." CNBC reported that the move comes after Amazon-backed (AMZN) Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for the AI industry to slow the pace of model capability development, saying that accelerating advances and recent alignment incidents could outpace efforts to ensure AI safety.
