The EC could also set up a European AI Alliance that will be tasked to write a Charter on AI Ethics by the beginning of next year, according to reports.
The UK’s House of Lords has also recommended the development of an ethical code of conduct on AI as well as suggesting a global summit on AI be held in London by the end of 2019.

Judge set to deliver verdict in Denmark’s Kim Wall murder trial
A judge in Denmark is today expected to deliver their verdict in the murder trial of journalist Kim Wall.
Wall — a 30-year-old Swedish journalist — was invited to interview inventor Peter Madsen aboard his homemade submarine in August last year.
Her dismembered remains were found at sea 11 days later.
Prosecutors accuse Madsen of having planned the crime, either suffocating her or cutting her throat. He admits dismembering her body but denies intentionally killing her.
A Danish prosecutor has demanded a life sentence for Madsen, a self-taught engineer who rose to fame in Denmark for his DIY science experiments.
