What it is

Inclusiveness. We work to develop AI systems that empower everyone, including people with disabilities.

Why it matters

This commitment engages accessibility law obligations including the Americans with Disabilities Act and the European Accessibility Act, but the page does not specify how AI accessibility is tested or enforced.

Consumer impact

This document describes Microsoft's internal ethical framework for AI development but does not grant consumers any enforceable rights, data deletion options, or complaint procedures in relation to AI-driven decisions that may affect them. Consumers who use Microsoft AI products like Copilot or Azure OpenAI Service are subject to separate terms of service and privacy policies that govern actual data handling, and this page does not modify or supplement those agreements. You can review Microsoft's Privacy Statement at microsoft.com/en-us/privacy and submit data rights requests through Microsoft's Privacy Dashboard if you are concerned about how your personal data is used by Microsoft AI systems.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    FTC Act Section 5 applies where inclusiveness representations about AI accessibility are not substantiated or are misleading to consumers with disabilities.
