🚨BREAKING: Council of Europe adopts 1st international treaty on AI. Here's what you need to know: ➡️The treaty - the Council of Europe Framework Convention on artificial intelligence and human rights, democracy, and the rule of law - was adopted in Strasbourg during the annual ministerial meeting of the Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers. According to the official release: "The treaty, which is also open to non-European countries, sets out a legal framework that covers the entire lifecycle of AI systems and addresses the risks they may pose, while promoting responsible innovation." - "The convention adopts a risk-based approach to the design, development, use, and decommissioning of AI systems, which requires carefully considering any potential negative consequences of using AI systems." - "The treaty covers the use of AI systems in the public sector – including companies acting on its behalf - and in the private sector. The convention offers parties two ways of complying with its principles and obligations when regulating the private sector: parties may opt to be directly obliged by the relevant convention provisions or, as an alternative, take other measures to comply with the treaty's provisions while fully respecting their international obligations regarding human rights, democracy and the rule of law. This approach is necessary because of the differences in legal systems around the world" ➡️Link to the treaty below. ➡️To stay up to date with the latest developments in AI policy & regulation, subscribe to my newsletter.
