The @UNHumanRights Chief has made an important comment on the Council of Europeās AI Convention due for final vote on Friday. ā¬ļø.
Very important for first int'l legally binding treaty on AI to ensure human rights guardrails guide AI development & use. As @coe AI Convention is finalised, I urge reconsideration of the blanket national security exemption & near total exclusion of private sector obligations.
