“The new terms leave wiggle room for Microsoft.”
The Azure OpenAI ban covers US police only, not police anywhere else. The global rule bars real-time face matching on body cameras and dashcams, and says nothing about stationary cameras in a back office. Microsoft then said its own wording was an error and the service is not a blanket ban on police at all. In the same months it pitched DALL-E to the Pentagon for military software. The ethics are written in the terms of service, and Microsoft edits those whenever it likes.
