First International AI Treaty Signed
News summary

The United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and several other countries have signed the first legally binding international treaty on AI safety, known as the Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy, and the Rule of Law. This landmark treaty, opened for signature in Vilnius, Lithuania, aims to ensure AI systems align with democratic values and protect human rights, democracy, and the rule of law throughout the AI lifecycle. Initial signatories include Andorra, Georgia, Iceland, Norway, Moldova, San Marino, and Israel, but major countries from Asia, the Middle East, and Russia are notably absent. The treaty requires countries to adopt measures that protect user data, prevent discrimination, and keep AI practices transparent. While it promotes AI innovation, the treaty also mandates that companies inform users when interacting with AI and assess AI's impact on human rights. The treaty will enter into force three months after ratification by five signatories, including at least three Council of Europe member states.
