On September 5, Reuters reported that the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union are expected to sign the first legally binding international treaty on the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
The above three regions will sign the Council of Europe’s Convention on Artificial Intelligence on Thursday (September 5), saying that the Convention was drafted by more than 50 countries/regions including Canada, Israel, Japan, and Australia over two years.
A senior U.S. Biden administration official told the newspaper that the United States is “committed to ensuring that artificial intelligence technology supports respect for human rights and democratic values” and sees “a key added value for the European Commission in this area.
” Reported that British Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle said: “This is the world’s first truly effective plan and will bring scattered regions together.
” The Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence was drafted by the Committee on Artificial Intelligence and covers issues such as human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
The Council of Europe completed the draft convention in March this year.
The convention was subsequently adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on May 17 and will be opened for signature in Vilnius (capital of Lithuania) on September 5.
, Hanne Juncher, the committee’s director of negotiations, said the first batch of 10 participants to ratify the proposal is expected to be expected when the convention opens for signature on Thursday.
Although the treaty is billed as “having the force of law,” critics point out that it has no sanctions such as fines.
Compliance is mainly measured through supervision, a relatively weak form of enforcement.
