Definition
An international privacy treaty, broader than the EU's GDPR because it also covers non-EU countries like Argentina, Morocco, and Mexico, that binds 55 governments to common data-protection principles. Its committee is now drafting specific guidance on privacy and security for AI chatbots and autonomous AI agents.
Why it matters
Because it reaches well beyond Europe, new AI-specific guidance under this treaty could become a de facto global privacy baseline for AI systems, affecting companies operating outside the EU's own rules.
