First Legally Binding AI treaty : Council Of Europe

The first legally binding AI treaty, signed by the US, EU, and UK, prioritizes human rights and democracy, adopting a risk-based approach to AI regulation across public and private sectors.

  • The Framework Convention on AI by the Council of Europe aims to mitigate AI threats to human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.
  • Unlike the EU AI Act, it ensures AI lifecycle activities align with these principles.

Key Features of the AI Treaty:

  • Regulates AI systems based on risk levels throughout their lifecycle.
  • Ensures AI systems uphold human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.
  • Covers AI use in both public and private sectors globally.
  • Signatories are responsible for harmful and discriminatory AI outcomes.
  • Victims of AI-related rights violations are guaranteed legal protection.
  • AI systems must not undermine democratic institutions or judicial independence.
  • Involves commitments from nations beyond Europe for a united global AI standard.
  • Relies on monitoring for compliance rather than fines or penalties.
