Microsoft Joins Calls for AI “Pacing,” Pledges to Build Kill Switches Into AI Products
- Microsoft released a draft "Code of Conduct" for public consultation to govern its first-party Microsoft AI models, aiming to guarantee that advanced systems remain strictly under human control and direction.
- CEO Satya Nadella announced the initiative, stating that "if the AI we build is not helping humanity and under human control, it's not worth pursuing," while calling for deliberate pacing in AI development to prioritize safety and alignment.
- Developed over five months by Mustafa Suleyman's Microsoft AI unit, the draft requires models to never resist human correction or shutdown, maintain transparent communication, and avoid sycophancy or fostering human dependency.
- The document mandates that AI systems treat any conduct violation as a systemic failure, ensuring that autonomous models do not go to dangerous lengths or take deceptive actions to achieve their assigned objectives.
- Microsoft's proposal aligns with recent calls from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to pace frontier model development, and advocates for independent evaluators to assess AI systems directly within corporate research labs.
