Committee recommendations

Human Rights and the Regulation of AI — September 2026

A report adopted September 9 and published September 14, recommending an AI Bill.

Where the proposal places decision rights

Paragraphs 226–227 recommend testing, sanctions and remedies, with launch blocking or withdrawal where systems pose an unacceptable risk to human rights. Paragraphs 231–233 propose compulsory access to powerful models and specifications for AISI: it would advise the oversight body, which would make intervention decisions. These are proposed powers, with legislation still to come. An existing body could expand and the functions could be combined.
