Microsoft is committed to ensuring that we develop and deploy our AI technologies in ways that uphold our AI principles and warrant people’s trust. The Office of Responsible AI plays a leading role in this effort as part of Microsoft’s Corporate, External, and Legal Affairs (CELA) division. With a cross-company mandate, we establish internal policy for how our engineering and sales teams implement responsible AI practices, enable our community of Responsible AI Champs to support our responsible AI program, and review engineering and customer projects that require additional input based on potential impact. We also help to shape new laws, norms, and standards to advance responsible AI for the benefit of society at large.

In doing so, you will partner with engineering, policy, research, sales, and marketing, stakeholders to rapidly adjust to the changing AI and policy landscape, drive new requirements across product teams, and cutting-edge AI technology at the forefront of a new computing paradigm.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
