The Financial Times reported that the convention was the result of negotiations and drafting by more than 50 countries, including Canada, Israel, Japan and Australia, over the past two years.
A US official said the country is “committed to using AI technology that respects the legitimate rights of citizens, as well as social values”.
It is the first “truly global, multi-country agreement” related to AI technology.
The Council of Europe's Framework Convention on AI, drafted by the Committee on Artificial Intelligence (CAI) in March, adopted by the Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers on 17 May, is expected to be formally signed in Vilnius on 5 September.
Meanwhile, Australia said it plans to introduce AI rules governing human intervention and transparency as the technology rapidly emerges in businesses and everyday life.
The draft proposes guidelines that require human oversight over the entire lifecycle of AI systems. “Oversight is intended to provide timely intervention to reduce the likelihood of unintended consequences and harm.”
Australia currently has no specific laws governing AI, although it introduced eight voluntary principles for the responsible use of technology in 2019. A recently released government report found that current arrangements are not robust enough to address high-risk situations.
Only a third of businesses using AI are doing so responsibly with regards to safety, fairness and transparency, said Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic.
“AI is expected to create up to 200,000 jobs in Australia by 2030, so it is important that businesses are equipped to develop and use this technology appropriately,” Mr Husic said.
