Inclusiveness: AI should empower everyone, including people who have historically been excluded from digital technology due to disability, language, geography, or socioeconomic factors.
This commitment has direct implications for the accessibility and equal availability of Microsoft AI products across diverse user populations, including users with disabilities who may rely on AI-powered accessibility features.
Microsoft's Responsible AI framework sets out the ethical principles — fairness, reliability, privacy, security, inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability — that govern how AI is built and deployed across all Microsoft products used by consumers. While these commitments signal meaningful intent, they are voluntary and do not create legally enforceable rights for individual users, meaning consumers harmed by AI decisions have limited direct recourse under this document alone. You can submit feedback or concerns about Microsoft AI systems through the dedicated responsible AI resources linked at microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai.
