US, UK, and EU Sign Landmark AI Treaty to Uphold Human Rights

The first legally binding international agreement aims to balance innovation with ethical standards across AI systems.

  • The treaty, known as the Framework Convention on AI, was developed by the Council of Europe and signed by 31 countries.
  • Key principles include data protection, non-discrimination, and transparency in AI-driven decisions.
  • The agreement addresses concerns over AI's impact on privacy, democracy, and the rule of law.
  • Critics argue the treaty's broad principles may limit enforceability and impact on tech innovation.
  • The treaty will come into effect three months after ratification by five signatory countries.
