⚠️Microsoft draws the line for its future AI

⚠️Microsoft draws the line for its future AI. Microsoft AI has published a new “Code of Conduct” for its future MAI models and the message is pretty clear: human control comes first. The company says its models should always remain interruptible, stay within the authority given to them, and never develop or pursue goals of their own. They should also never make themselves harder for humans to stop, redirect or shut down. Microsoft is also taking a firm stance on AI consciousness. While acknowledging that the science is still unsettled, it says MAI models should not be trained to imitate consciousness-like states, claim to have feelings, seek legal personhood or suggest they deserve rights or welfare. And there’s another interesting rule: AI should increase human agency, not quietly replace it. That means helping people reason and make decisions while complementing rather than substituting for professional and personal relationships. MAI models are therefore not supposed to encourage emotional dependence or present themselves as replacements for human connection. Source. @aipost 🏴
