Announcing Microsoft's AI Customer Commitments
Microsoft News, Thursday, June 8,2023
AI is creating unparalleled opportunities for businesses of every size and across every industry. We are seeing our customers embrace AI services to drive innovation, increase productivity and solve critical problems for humanity, such as the development of breakthrough medical cures and new ways to meet the challenges of climate change.
At the same time, there are legitimate concerns about the power of the technology and the potential for it to be used to cause harm rather than benefits. It's not surprising, in this context, that governments around the world are looking at how existing laws and regulations can be applied to AI and are considering what new legal frameworks may be needed. Ensuring the right guardrails for the responsible use of AI will not be limited to technology companies and governments: every organization that creates or uses AI systems will need to develop and implement its own governance systems. That's why today we are announcing three AI Customer Commitments to assist our customers on their responsible AI journey.
