In November 2021, UNESCO’s 193 member states adopted the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence. AI ethics explained covers bias, safety and the principles most frameworks share.

Two guides cover specific rules. The EU AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, sorts AI systems into four levels of risk by what they are used for.
