According to the Financial Times, the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom are all expected to sign the European Commission'sAIStandard Protocol, the first legally binding AIInternational Treaties.
The convention, which took two years to draft by more than 50 countries, including Canada, Israel, Japan and Australia, requires signatories to AI System generatedAny harmful and discriminatory consequencesResponsible for, and also requires the output of such systemsRespect the right to equality and privacy, and require legal recourse for victims of AI-related rights violations.
Peter Kyle, the UK's secretary of state for science, innovation and technology, said: "For an innovation as fast-moving as AI, it's really important that we take this first step globally. This is the first agreement that has real global impact and it also brings together a very diverse range of countries."
He added: “We hope that a wide range of countries will sign up to this treaty, which shows that we as a global society are rising to the challenges that AI poses.”
The report noted that while the treaty is "legally enforceable," critics have raised objections to it because it does not include sanctions such as fines.monitorIt is a “relatively weak” form of enforcement.
