BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 2. Azerbaijan is preparing a legal framework for the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI), Deputy Minister of Digital Development and Transport Samir Mammadov said at the opening event of the ASAN AI HUB today, Trend reports.
According to him, the AI strategy, which defines the legal and normative basis and conceptual framework for the development of AI in Azerbaijan, has been adopted.
The deputy minister noted that the main directions of the strategy are the development and improvement of AI management, the establishment of databases and infrastructure, and the enhancement of talents and skills in the field of AI, as well as the creation of a favorable business environment.
"A normative legal framework is being prepared to ensure the responsible and ethical use of AI.
