Microsoft is planning to rank AI models based on safety to foster trust among its cloud customers.
The tech giant will add a 'safety' category to its 'model leaderboard' to rank AI iterations from various providers.
The safety ranking will influence which AI models and applications are purchased through Microsoft's Azure Foundry developer platform.
The move comes as customers navigate potential risks of AI models to data and privacy, especially in autonomous 'agents' scenarios with no human supervision.
