\ud83e\udd14 How do we design, develop and deploy our AI systems responsibly? We recently shared our updated Responsible AI Standard, a framework to guide how we build AI systems. Here\u2019s what you need to know: \ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f A few years. Multiple departments. Countless tests. Our Responsible AI Standard reflects hundreds of inputs across Microsoft<\/a> technologies, professions and geographies that have improved clarity and practicality of the requirements. \u274c Laws have not kept up with AI\u2019s unique risks or society\u2019s needs, even as it becomes more a part of our lives. The Microsoft #ResponsibleAI<\/a> Standard details concrete goals that teams developing AI system must accomplish to uphold our six AI principles. (pictured below) \ud83d\udee0\ufe0fLeveraging learnings from products like our speech-to-text technology and Azure AI\u2019s Custom Neural Voice, we\u2019re making a few changes to our #AI<\/a> products: We’re adding new controls for high-risk AI biometric services and retiring certain capabilities in our Face API. \ud83d\udca1We recognize the Responsible AI Standard is just one of many steps in our Responsible AI journey, and we\u2019re committed to open, honest and transparent in our efforts to make meaningful progress.
