‘The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act began entering into force on 1 August 2024. It will take some 2-3 years to come fully into operation.
The Council of Europe’s Treaty on AI and human rights, democracy and the rule of law was opened for signature on 5 September 2024 by European Justice Ministers in Vilnius. The Council of Europe’s Treaty was billed as the first-ever international legally binding treaty aimed at ensuring that the use of AI systems is consistent with human rights, democracy and the rule of law. The Treaty has already been signed by the EU, the UK and the USA, amongst others.
