Microsoft AI (MAI)
Building the world's most capable AI systems, with humanity at the center.

Microsoft AI (MAI) is Microsoft's superintelligence team focused on building frontier-scale AI models designed to be both highly capable and deeply safe. The team develops consumer AI products including Copilot, Bing, and Edge, alongside foundational models such as MAI-Voice-1, MAI-Image-2, and MAI-Transcribe-1. Their stated mission centers on 'Humanist Superintelligence' — advanced AI that remains controllable, aligned, and in service to humanity.
MAI builds frontier-scale AI models and integrates them into consumer products like Copilot and Bing, while also offering standalone models for voice, image generation, and transcription via a model playground.
