Microsoft opens public consultation on a humanist Code of Conduct for MAI models
On September 13–14, 2026, Satya Nadella announced a Code of Conduct for first-party MAI models, opened to a six-week public consultation. Driven by Mustafa Suleyman and Humanist Superintelligence, the 37-page draft holds that “people matter more than AI,” rejects model consciousness and legal personhood, requires interruptibility, transparency, and non-manipulation, and contemplates SI only under human control. The MAI family includes Thinking-1, Code-1-Flash, Image-2.5/2.6, Transcribe, and Voice.
