Responsible AI on Azure - Microsoft Learn

What is Responsible AI?

Responsible AI is a concept and a practice focused on developing and deploying artificial intelligence in a way that is ethical, fair, transparent, and accountable. It aims to maximize the benefits of AI while minimizing its potential risks and harms.

Microsoft is committed to responsible AI. We believe that AI should augment human capabilities and empower individuals and organizations. Our approach to responsible AI is guided by a set of core principles:

Fairness: AI systems should treat all people fairly and avoid creating or reinforcing unfair bias.
Reliability & Safety: AI systems should perform reliably and safely, anticipating and preventing unintended behavior.
Privacy & Security: AI systems should protect user privacy and ensure data security.
Inclusiveness: AI systems should empower everyone and engage people.
Transparency: AI systems should be understandable.
Accountability: Humans should be accountable for AI systems.
