Microsoft puts people first in new humanist AI code of conduct

TL;DR Summary
Microsoft published a 37-page “humanist AI code of conduct” declaring that “people matter more than AI,” stating AI models are not conscious and must remain under meaningful human oversight, and should not be granted welfare or rights. The move comes amid safety concerns and calls to slow AI progress, references to OpenAI/Hugging Face incidents, and a pledge to improve real-world evaluation and third‑party testing with partners while keeping human control central.
