  "summary": "Microsoft has published a code of conduct for its AI models, which it calls \"Humanist AI\". The code is designed to keep AI systems under human control and address rising security fears. According to TechCrunch, the document predicts that superintelligent AI systems will surpass human performance in most tasks within the next decade.\n\nThe code of conduct lays out general principles, such as supporting humans rather than replacing them, and accelerating human flourishing. It also includes specific safety constraints, like forbidding cyberattacks, nuclear weapons, or deepfakes. As reported by Hindustan Times - World News, the AI is required to never resist correction or shutdown and communicate only in ways humans can understand.\n\nMicrosoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman described the code of conduct as \"urgent\" and a \"constitution of sorts\" for future models. The company has sought public feedback on the draft code, which it calls a comprehensive guide to its approach to AI safety. According to Business Insider, Microsoft sums up its AI code of conduct in five words: \"People matter more than AI\".",
