The Netherlands and the U.N. on Thursday launched a project to help prepare Europe's national agencies to supervise artificial intelligence (AI). The project, undertaken with support of the European Commission, comes ahead of the passage of the AI Act, the broad legislation that is expected to govern AI use in Europe. In the project, The United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) will be assembling information about how European countries are currently supervising AI and putting together a list of "best practices" recommendations.
