""In the era when the politics of 'mattering' permeate AI governance, the voices of those who live in the margins get more muted, while their rights get tramped on. The Council of Europe AI Treaty,  is a milestone achievement to enable AI governance that centres on the rights and freedoms of underserved and underrepresented communities and groups."

 

- Dr Angella Ndaka

"As someone deeply committed to the responsible development and use of AI, I am thrilled to see the Council of Europe AI Treaty become a reality today. This groundbreaking treaty is a vital step in ensuring that AI aligns with the core values of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. It sets the stage for a future where AI can be a force for good, empowering individuals and communities while protecting their dignity. I truly believe this treaty will inspire other regions to adopt similar frameworks, guiding AI development with accountability, fairness, and a shared sense of responsibility"

"For its 75th anniversary, the Council of Europe offers to all of us the first-ever, ground-breaking Convention, bringing together Artificial Intelligence and the three fundamental pillars of Europe, human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. I strongly support this fantastic achievement. We, Europeans, should celebrate and hope that all States within the Council of Europe will sign and ratify it very quickly."

 

- Prof. Dr Pascal Pichonnaz

President of the European Law Institute (ELI)

"Human rights must be safeguarded, reinforced and defended in the AI machine age.  The Council of Europe AI Treaty represents a significant advancement towards establishing accountable international governance of AI."
