TL;DR
- Microsoft AI released a draft 37-page code of conduct for its AI models.
- The core principle is "People matter more than AI."

- The code establishes a hierarchy: code of conduct, operator policy, and user preferences.
- Safety constraints include policies on intellectual property, internet access, data handling, and respecting environmental boundaries.
