OverviewMicrosoft is committed to ensuring that we develop and deploy our AI technologies in ways that uphold our AI principles and warrant people's trust. The Office of Responsible AI plays a leading role in this effort as part of Microsoft's Corporate, External, and Legal Affairs (CELA) division. With a cross-company mandate, we establish internal policy for how our engineering and sales teams implement responsible AI practices, enable our community of Responsible AI Champs to support our responsible AI program, and review engineering and customer projects that require additional input based on potential impact. We also help to shape new laws, norms, and standards to advance responsible AI for the benefit of society at large. The Sensitive Uses and Emerging Technologies team within the Office of Responsible AI is responsible for providing guidance on Microsoft's most sensitive and cutting-edge AI products, emerging technologies, and initiatives. Across Microsoft, we work alongside engineering colleagues on AI model and product development and engage with Microsoft researchers and sales teams from around the world.
