Microsoft Responsible AI Principles

Microsoft's Responsible AI Principles provide guidance for designing, building, and testing AI systems that are fair, reliable, secure, inclusive, transparent, and accountable.

  1. Fairness

    AI systems should treat all people fairly when allocating opportunities, resources, and information, ensuring equitable treatment across different user groups and contexts.

  2. Reliability and safety

    AI systems should perform reliably and safely across different use conditions and contexts, including ones they weren’t originally intended for, maintaining consistent performance.

  3. Privacy and security

    AI systems should be secure and respect privacy by design, protecting user data and ensuring systems are built with privacy and security considerations from the start.

  4. Inclusiveness

    AI systems should empower everyone and engage all people regardless of their backgrounds or abilities, ensuring accessibility and usability for diverse user populations.

  5. Transparency

    AI systems should be understandable so people correctly comprehend their capabilities, limitations, and decision-making processes for informed interaction.

  6. Accountability

    People should be accountable for AI systems through proper oversight and control mechanisms, ensuring humans remain in control and can address system impacts.
