Microsoft released its second annual Responsible AI Transparency Report on June 20, 2025, authored by Teresa Hutson and Natasha Crampton. The report reviews the past year’s progress in building AI systems with clearer oversight, updated customer support, and ongoing learning.
In 2024, companies accelerated AI adoption. Microsoft responded by advancing tools that scan for risks not only in text, but in images, audio, video, and emerging semi-autonomous systems. They tightened processes that check risks before deploying every major model- especially ones used in its Azure OpenAI service and internal Phi models. They also created a workflow tool to unify those responsible AI checks .
Microsoft’s specialized team handled high-stakes AI cases in healthcare and science, offering advice to prevent unintended harm. The launch of the AI Frontiers Lab also signals a renewed push to improve AI safety and performance.
