True
Microsoft has publicly disclosed a code of conduct centered on controlling AI, headlined by the position that humans are what matter while AI holds no rights, our desk has confirmed. The guidelines were published through the company's official AI channel, and a review of primary sources supports the report as filed.
Korean tech media reported that Microsoft had unveiled an 'AI control' code of conduct carrying the message "humans matter, AI has no rights." The claim pointed to material posted on the company's official AI web presence at microsoft.ai, including a summary image distributed with the disclosure.
Our English desk examined the claim against 10 primary sources, including the Microsoft AI page from which the disclosed guidance and its accompanying summary image originate. The published material matches the reported characterization: the code of conduct is framed around the control of AI, affirming the primacy of humans and denying rights to AI. Nothing in the primary sources contradicted the report.
A formal code of conduct from one of the world's largest AI developers serves as a reference point for how strictly AI systems should be governed as adoption spreads across industries, including Korea's AI, semiconductor and PC hardware sectors. The company's stated stance โ that humans, not AI, hold primacy โ will likely be read closely by enterprises and policymakers weighing their own rules for deploying AI.
Our final determination on the claim โ that Microsoft has disclosed an 'AI control' code of conduct stating that humans matter and AI has no rights โ is True.
