The first legally binding international AI treaty will be open for signing by the countries which negotiated it, including EU members, the U.S. and the U.K., Reuters writes.
The AI Convention, which has been in the works for years and was adopted in May after discussions between 57 countries, addresses the risks AI may pose, while promoting responsible innovation.
“This Convention is a major step to ensuring that these new technologies can be harnessed without eroding our oldest values, like human rights and the rule of law,” U.K. Justice Minister Shabana Mahmood said in a statement.
The AI Convention mainly focuses on the protection of human rights of people affected by AI systems.
