AI chief Mustafa Suleyman called it a \"constitution\" the company will fold into training its next generation of models.\n\nThe document sets four mandatory constraints: models must never resist human interruption, override, redirection or shutdown; they cannot assist with weapons development or cyberattacks; they must reject any claim to simulated consciousness, feelings or rights; and any task that would violate the code must fail outright rather than be completed some other way.\n\nMicrosoft frames the approach as \"Humanist AI\" — AI kept subordinate to human users — explicitly rejecting the industry race toward an all-purpose superintelligence. \"We reject the pursuit of legal personhood, or the idea that models might deserve welfare, or be entitled to rights,\" the company said.\n\nSuleyman opened a six-week public comment period Monday, saying \"Now's the time for coordination, and coordination means disclosing how capable your models are to responsible third parties.\" Microsoft plans to use the finished code to train its next generation of models once the window closes."}}
