Microsoft's AI division released the first draft of its "AI Code of Conduct" on September 14, seeking feedback on the document. The guidelines establish the premise that "Humans are more important than AI" and explicitly state that AI must not resist being powered off. Microsoft plans to use the code as a training manual and development guideline starting in 2027 after making revisions.
