Microsoft AI Code of Conduct Sets Cyberattack Boundaries, Chain of Command, Safety Constraints

Microsoft has established a code of conduct for artificial intelligence, known as the Humanist AI Code of Conduct, which distinguishes between defensive cyber research and operational attack capabilities. This code sets boundaries and safety constraints for AI use in cyberattacks. It also establishes a chain of command, outlining the decision-making process for AI-related operations. The code is intended to provide guidelines for the development and use of AI in cybersecurity contexts. The goal is to ensure that AI is used responsibly and with clear lines of authority. The code of conduct is a key component of Microsoft's approach to AI in cybersecurity.
