The treaty has already been signed by Andorra, Georgia, Iceland, Norway, Moldova, San Marino, the United Kingdom as well as Israel, the United States and the European Union.

The first legally binding international treaty on artificial intelligence (AI) was opened for signature on 5 September by the countries that negotiated it, including members of the European Union (EU), the United States and the United Kingdom, the Council of Europe said.

An important step

The Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence, adopted in May after discussions between 57 countries, aims to ensure that AI systems are used in full compliance with human rights, democracy and the rule of law. The treaty has already been signed by Andorra, Georgia, Iceland, Norway, Moldova, San Marino, the United Kingdom as well as Israel, the United States and the European Union, the Council of Europe said in a statement on Thursday.

This convention is an important step towards ensuring that these new technologies can be exploited without eroding our most ancient values, such as human rights and the rule of law.“, said Shabana Mahmood, British Justice Secretary, in a statement.

The convention is separate from the EU’s AI regulation, which came into force last month and includes detailed rules on the development, deployment and use of the technology within the bloc’s internal market.

Committee on Artificial Intelligence

The Council of Europe, founded in 1949, is an international organisation composed of 47 member countries, including the 27 EU member states, with a mandate to safeguard human rights.

In 2019, an ad hoc committee began examining the feasibility of a framework convention on AI, and a committee on artificial intelligence was established in 2022 to draft and negotiate the text. Signatories may choose to adopt or maintain legislative, administrative or other measures to give effect to its provisions.
