Microsoft states that its AI systems should empower people and engage everyone, ensuring AI does not exclude or disadvantage particular groups.
This analysis describes what Microsoft's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This principle addresses accessibility and inclusion in AI system design, which is relevant to users with disabilities and to groups that may be underrepresented in AI training data or system design.
Interpretive note: The document text was not fully available for direct quotation; this provision is characterized based on the publicly known content of the Microsoft Responsible AI page.
This is a stated design principle rather than an accessibility warranty or anti-discrimination guarantee; it describes an aspiration for inclusive AI development without creating enforceable rights for affected users.
How other platforms handle this
Uphold high standards of scientific excellence. Incorporate privacy design principles. Technologies that incorporate privacy by design principles, including user controls for data collection and providing appropriate transparency, notice, and consent to users about how their data is used.
ISO/IEC 42001:2023

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Inclusiveness and accessibility obligations may be implicated by the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act for federal procurement, and the European Accessibility Act. This policy statement does not satisfy the technical requirements of any of these frameworks. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low as a standalone statement. Organizations procuring Microsoft AI for federal or government use should verify compliance with Section 508 and relevant accessibility standards through product-specific documentation. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Federal and state government procurement in the US creates heightened exposure for accessibility compliance verification. EU organizations should assess alignment with the European Accessibility Act as applicable. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams in government or public sector contexts should request product-specific accessibility conformance reports (ACRs) from Microsoft rather than relying on this policy statement. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations with legal accessibility obligations should not treat this principle as evidence of product-level compliance; product-specific accessibility documentation should be obtained and reviewed.
