A Standing Committee on Artificial Intelligence has been established under the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to continue the work of CAHAI, which has completed its mandate in the coming years. The main goal of the Committee is to prepare a draft law and submit it to the Committee of Ministers. The draft law will cover the regulation and coordination of artificial intelligence and stakeholders.
