The European Union and the U.S. announced a draft joint "code of conduct" on artificial intelligence (AI) to the voluntary application for companies in the sector.

A global consensus is emerging on the need to regulate – more or less freely – a technology with revolutionary effects but high risks of slippage. The EU is preparing a comprehensive and mandatory legal framework that would apply to AI in a few years – at the earliest by the end of 2025 – but the code of conduct designed with Washington will be voluntary.
