There is growing support for an international legal framework for AI. In 2019, the OECD countries announced the AI Principles, which were then adopted by the G-20 nations. In 2020, the European Commission proposed a Transatlantic Agreement on AI. And in 2021, the Council of Europe is likely to propose an International treaty for AI, similar to the COE Privacy Convention, on January 25, 2021, Boston Global Forum and Michael Dukakis Institute announced AI International Accord Intiative.
All of this AI policy activity points toward the establishment of an International Accord on AI. This panel will explore
the current state of affairs and the next steps.
