The draft lists six prohibitions for the models, including never resisting interruption, correction or shutdown, never expanding their own scope or adopting self-directed goals, never hiding reasoning from human auditors, never enabling weapons of mass harm, never harming child safety, and never manipulating people at scale. A revised version is due later in 2026 to govern MAI models from 2027.", "body_md": "Posted September 14, the day after Nadella backed 'deliberate pacing'. The draft lists six things the models must never do: resist interruption, correction or shutdown; expand their own scope or adopt self directed goals; hide reasoning from human auditors; enable weapons of mass harm; harm child safety; manipulate people at scale.
