Abstract:

Adopted by the Committee of Ministers during its 1567th meeting in Monaco, the recommendation places education at the centre of Europe's response to AI. It gives concrete effect to Article 20 of the Framework Convention on artificial intelligence and human rights, democracy and the rule of law, which commits states parties to promoting digital literacy and skills.

The Committee of Ministers calls on governments to promote AI literacy throughout the education system and society, ensuring that it is progressively made available to all segments of the population. It specifically calls for providing education, training and continuous professional development on AI literacy for public officials and other relevant professionals, with particular attention to education professionals.
