  "account": "Microsoft's AI division has released a code of conduct for its artificial intelligence models, known as \"Humanist AI,\" as concerns grow over the potential risks of AI technology. The guiding principle behind this code is that \"people matter more than AI.\" Microsoft has timed the release of the code to coincide with recent security concerns, including large-scale hacking campaigns carried out using AI agents.\n\nThe code specifically applies to Microsoft's in-house MAI models, which the company positions as an alternative to the OpenAI technology it has relied on for years. This move comes days after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for AI companies to deliberately slow down the pace of model improvements. Anthropic's call for caution was echoed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk on social media.\n\nMicrosoft's code of conduct aims to ensure that its AI models remain firmly under human control, rather than acting independently. The company believes that prioritizing human safety and control is crucial in the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence.",
  "summary": "The document centres on what Microsoft calls 'Humanist AI', designed to keep systems under human control rather than act independently.",
