AI systems that are not fair can cause real harm — from biased hiring tools to discriminatory lending decisions — and this commitment signals Microsoft's intent to mitigate these risks.
This document describes Microsoft's voluntary ethical commitments for how it develops and deploys AI, including commitments to fairness, privacy, and transparency in its AI systems. For everyday consumers, this means Microsoft publicly asserts it designs AI with safety and inclusiveness in mind, though the document does not create enforceable legal rights for individual users. The practical impact on your data, finances, or safety depends on the specific Microsoft products you use and the separate terms and privacy policies governing them.
