According to Microsoft president Brad Smith, the company endorses The White House’s voluntary commitments and independently commits to additional practices that align with the objectives. By doing so, Microsoft aims to expand its safe and responsible AI practices and collaborate with other industry leaders.

Global leaders, including the United Nations secretary-general, have expressed concerns about the potential misuse of generative AI and deepfake technology in conflict zones. In May, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris met with AI leaders to establish a groundwork for ethical AI development, and announced a $140 million investment in AI research and development by the National Science Foundation.
