Host Damien and PolyAI CEO Nikola Mrkšić discuss the latest in an increasingly vague spate of regulatory actions: this time, the AI Framework Convention treaty from the Council of Europe. The treaty, aiming to balance AI advancements with human rights and democracy, is broken down for its practicality, technological neutrality, and the challenges of achieving global parity. The duo explores the tricky dynamics of AI regulation, especially in contrasting legal systems and geopolitical contexts, highlighting the importance of including major players like China. They debate the 'significant impact' clause, implications for small vs. large AI developers, and touch on potential loopholes for national security exceptions.
