Overview page — introduction; 'What does the Framework Convention require states to do?': fundamental principles; remedies, procedural rights and safeguards

The Council of Europe describes the Convention as the first international legally binding treaty in the field, opened for signature on 5 September 2024, covering activities within the lifecycle of AI systems. It lists principles including transparency and oversight and accountability and responsibility, and says parties must ensure documentation sufficient for affected people to challenge decisions and the use of a system, with an effective possibility to complain to competent authorities.

Scope note: The Council of Europe overview page was reviewed, not the treaty text itself. The Convention binds only parties for which it has entered into force, and is largely framed as obligations on states to adopt measures. Signature and ratification status changes; verify before relying on it. The treaty text itself (CETS 225) was opened on 19 October 2026 for the definitions comparison.

Abstract

Relative to data and algorithms, AI-relevant compute is presented as a particularly effective point of intervention because it is detectable, excludable and quantifiable and is produced via an extremely concentrated supply chain. Policymakers could use it for regulatory visibility, resource allocation and enforcement; the authors warn that naive or poorly scoped compute governance carries significant risks to privacy, economic impacts and centralization of power, and suggest guardrails.

Scope note: A preprint by authors affiliated with AI developers, universities, and governance organizations; not peer reviewed. Several authors have institutional stakes in compute governance.
