AgenSIR reports on a historic development in AI governance as Canada and Japan became the first countries to sign the Council of Europe’s global treaty aimed at protecting human rights and democracy in the era of artificial intelligence. The treaty establishes legal standards for the ethical use of AI, ensuring technologies respect individual freedoms and democratic values.

Key provisions include strict requirements for transparency, accountability, and data privacy in AI systems, as well as measures to prevent algorithmic bias and discrimination. The treaty also calls for the creation of oversight bodies to monitor AI compliance and safeguard citizens’ rights.

Legal experts hail this treaty as a significant milestone in establishing international AI regulations that prioritize ethical development and protect fundamental human rights. It is expected that other countries will soon join this global initiative to foster responsible AI innovation.
