US, UK, and EU signed the world’s first AI treaty.
United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom took a historic step by signing the first legally binding international treaty on artificial intelligence (AI).
The treaty was signed during the Council of Europe conference held in Vilnius, Lithuania.
This groundbreaking agreement, known as the Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence, Human Rights, Democracy, and the Rule of Law, is an important milestone in global efforts to regulate AI technologies.
It underlines the need to balance innovation with the protection of human rights and democratic values.
The AI conference is the result of years of negotiations between 57 countries.
It includes major AI developers like the US, UK, and EU, as well as participants from Japan, Canada, Israel, Australia, and many others.
The treaty focuses on addressing the potential risks posed by AI technologies while promoting responsible innovation.
A Strasbourg-based international organisation founded in 1949, the Council of Europe took the initiative to ensure that AI systems align with fundamental human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.
