Summary
Microsoft has developed a Responsible AI Standard to guide the development and use of AI systems in a safe, trustworthy, and ethical way. The standard is based on six principles: fairness, reliability and safety, privacy and security, inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability. Microsoft aims to ensure that its AI systems prioritize people first and respect enduring values like fairness, reliability, and transparency. The company encourages other organizations to adopt its standard and provides resources and templates to help developers build effective, safe, and transparent AI solutions. Microsoft employs various techniques to detect bias and mitigate unfair impacts, including careful review of training data characteristics and labels, testing models with balanced demographic sample data, and enabling transparency into model behavior and fairness metrics.
