Change Summary
Microsoft updated three passages in its Responsible AI Principles on April 19, 2026. The first change revised the opening tagline from 'Build your business with trustworthy AI' to 'Accelerate business growth with trustworthy AI' and expanded the supporting description from a single sentence about safe practices to a more detailed statement about accelerating adoption and reducing risk. The second change replaced a reference to 'Get the e-book' with 'Watch the webinar' in a resources section. The third change rephrased guidance about Copilot security from 'When you're using Copilots at work' to 'When using Copilot at work,' a minor grammatical adjustment. These are primarily marketing and messaging updates with no material change to underlying responsible AI commitments or consumer obligations.
