The United States, the EU and the United Kingdom will sign the first international treaty to regulate artificial intelligence, which will be legally binding, the Financial Times reports.
AI developers worry that differences in national regulations could hinder innovation, and this treaty aims to create a unified approach.
The Council of Europe Convention on AI emphasizes the protection of human rights and democratic values in the use of AI in the public and private sectors.
It was drawn up over two years by over 50 countries, including Canada, Israel, Japan and Australia.
The Convention requires signatories to take responsibility for harmful or discriminatory consequences of artificial intelligence systems and ensures that these systems will respect the rights to equality and privacy.
