Holistic AI has been granted Observer Status within the Council of Europe Committee on Artificial Intelligence (CAI), signaling a new phase in international AI governance. As an observer, Holistic AI will work closely with member states to shape the first international convention on artificial intelligence. This effort aims to ensure the development, deployment, and decommissioning of AI systems adhere to core values such as human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.

By participating in plenary sessions and contributing to discussions, Holistic AI seeks to advance rights-based approaches and socio-technical methodologies for AI governance. The company emphasizes the importance of robust governance frameworks to mitigate legal, financial, and reputational risks associated with AI systems.

Holistic AI's proactive stance in collaborating with regulators, policymakers, enterprises, and academia underscores its dedication to fostering trust in AI technologies through responsible and risk-based standards that are applicable globally. This observer role in the CAI represents a significant step towards realizing the transformative potential of AI in society responsibly.
