The Council of Europe convened a major conference addressing the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and human rights. The event focused on safeguarding fundamental rights such as privacy, freedom of expression, and non-discrimination in the context of AI technologies. Participants emphasized the importance of human-centered, ethical AI development, with transparency and accountability as core principles.

The conference brought together governments, civil society, and technology industry representatives to discuss governance frameworks that align AI deployment with human rights standards. International cooperation and sharing of best practices were promoted to tackle challenges including AI bias, mass surveillance, and automated decision-making. The outcomes are expected to guide future policy and legal instruments regulating AI in Europe.
