AI impact
At Microsoft, we have a company-wide commitment to develop ethical, safe, and secure AI, and to uncover innovative ways to apply AI for the good of society and the planet.
Responsible AI
We must ensure that AI is developed and governed responsibly, and that its benefits reach everyone. The question isn't what technology can do, but what it should do.
Responsible AI Transparency Report
Our annual report demonstrates our progress in responsible AI: removing barriers to adoption through good governance and supporting our customers with the tools and resources they need to innovate responsibly.
Governing AI: A blueprint for the future
Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President, Microsoft, shares insights on how government, industry, academia, and civil society can advance AI policy to help ensure that AI benefits society.

AI for Good Labs
Our researchers and data scientists are partnering with mission-aligned leaders around the world to apply AI technology to solve some of society’s most pressing problems.
Partnering for good
In our AI for Good Lab, we partner with domain experts, researchers, and organizations to combine creativity and technology to advance solutions that empower individuals and protect the planet.
Preserving cultural heritage and making it more accessible
Photogrammetry, AI, and digital preservation combine to create a digital twin of St. Peter’s Basilica using thousands of images, enabling people to explore it in detail—from anywhere in the world. AI detected cracks and missing mosaic tiles, helping to ensure the preservation of the basilica as a cultural, spiritual, and historically significant site for years to come.
“Through this work, we’ve learned that there are some challenges for which AI is the only solution—problems that require the scale and speed that traditional methods simply cannot achieve.”
— Juan Lavista Ferres, Corporate Vice President, Chief Data Scientist, and Director, AI for Good Lab, Microsoft
Open data
We believe that everyone can benefit from opening, sharing, and collaborating around data to make better decisions, improve efficiency, and help tackle some of the world’s most pressing societal challenges.
Advance open data
Access to data is a big challenge. Microsoft aims to close the data divide and help organizations of all sizes realize the benefits of data and the new technologies it powers.
Improving society with open data
Data that’s relevant to important social problems should be as open as possible. The Microsoft Data for Society resource center provides access to open datasets, resources, and tools from Microsoft.
Build partnerships for greater impact
We believe that success requires partners—industry, government, and civil society around the world. Together, we promote greater access to data to benefit society and bridge the data gap.
