Hello all, and happy Thursday!
As is always the case with new technologies, innovative AI models have outpaced regulation. But regulation has recently closed the gap a little bit.
The Council of Europe recently released the AI Convention, a framework on artificial intelligence and human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, signed by the US, UK, EU, and numerous other countries.
While the EU has its AI Act and Colorado has its AI Act, the AI Convention provides a framework for signatories to lean on when determining the legality of AI models. It’s not particularly explicit and instead provides general principles that signatories can interpret within their own legal systems. It’s likely that individual countries will develop their own comprehensive AI legislation in the future that is compatible with the overarching framework of the AI Convention.
Best,
Arlo
