"Because people matter more". Microsoft imposes limits on AI development with a "humanist code of conduct"

Jornal de Negócios14 September 2026 at 19:44

Microsoft developed a manifesto that establishes limits for the development of artificial intelligence, dubbed the "humanist code of conduct". This document comes with the argument that "people matter more", placing humanity at the center of technological concerns.

The document comes at a time of great upheaval in the sector in financial markets, where technology companies have been heavily investing in AI research and development.

Several experts have warned that there is a need to slow down the rapid development of AI models, expressing concerns about the risks associated with the accelerated speed of this technology.

Microsoft is thus positioning itself as a company that recognizes the need to establish ethical boundaries in the development of artificial intelligence, at a time when the debate about the regulation and safety of this technology is intensifying both in the technology sector and in financial markets.

Why this matters

Readers are affected because Microsoft, as one of the largest technology companies in the world, is setting a precedent in the industry by prioritizing ethical considerations over profit, which can influence how other companies approach AI development. This manifesto comes following warnings from experts about the risks of advancing too rapidly with this technology.
