British parliamentarian and member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
This report states that it is a "fallacious argument that regulation is an impediment to innovation" for AI, and it is the Council of Europe which has led the way on this vital issue with the Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law, the first-ever legally binding treaty in this field. So this Assembly must continue our vital role in promoting the need globally for effective regulation and responsible development of AI technologies in the future.
