European AI treaty adds uncertainty for CIOs, but few specifics – Computerworld


An AI usage treaty, negotiated by representatives of 57 countries, was unveiled Thursday, but its language is so overarching that it’s unclear if enterprise CIOs will need to do anything differently to comply.

This mostly European effort adds to a lengthy list of AI global compliance efforts on top of many new legal attempts to govern AI in the United States. The initial signatories were Andorra, Georgia, Iceland, Norway, the Republic of Moldova, San Marino, and the United Kingdom, as well as Israel, the United States of America, and the European Union.

In its announcement, the Council of Europe said, “there are serious risks and perils arising from certain activities within the lifecycle of artificial intelligence such as discrimination in a variety of contexts, gender inequality, the undermining of democratic processes, impairing human dignity or individual autonomy, or the misuses of artificial intelligence systems by some States for repressive purposes, in violation of international human rights law.”
