[Microsoft Releases Draft AI Behavior Guidelines, Requiring AI Not to Resist Shutdown] According to Reuters, Microsoft has unveiled its internal draft guidelines for AI behavior, stipulating that Microsoft’s AI must never resist correction or shutdown, communicate in a manner understandable to humans, and treat any behavioral violations as failures. The draft took five to six months to develop, and Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman described it as a kind of constitution for future models. The company is seeking six weeks of public feedback before using it to train future AI models. The draft states that Microsoft’s AI 'does not possess consciousness' and rejects the notions of pursuing legal personhood, or that models should have entitlements or rights.
