Summary

First legally-binding international treaty on AI. Opened for signature Sep 2024. Enters into force three months after five ratifications including three CoE members. Currency (2026-06-21): secondary trackers report the entry-into-force threshold was met (reported in force 1 November 2025, EU ratification reported 15 May 2026), but this could NOT be confirmed against the Council of Europe treaty-office primary source (which blocks automated retrieval) and Wikipedia did not corroborate a ratification count meeting the threshold — so status is HELD as adopted-not-in-force pending primary-source confirmation by a named editor.
