We’re not very close to any specifics on how, exactly, AI regulations will be implemented and ensured, but today a swathe of countries including the U.S., the U.K. and the European Union signed up to a treaty on AI safety laid out by the Council of Europe (COE), an international standards and human rights organization.
The Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy, and the Rule of Law — as the treaty is formally called — is described by the COE as “the first-ever international legally binding treaty aimed at ensuring that the use of AI systems is fully consistent with human rights, democracy and the rule of law.”

Building a robot takes time, technical skill, the right materials -- and sometimes, a little fungus. In creating a pair of new robots, Cornell University researchers cultivated an unlikely component, one found on the forest floor: fungal mycelia.
By harnessing mycelia's innate electrical signals, the researchers discovered a new way of controlling "biohybrid" robots that can potentially react to their environment better than their purely synthetic counterparts.
