A Manifesto on Enforcing Law in the Age of AI

Building upon A Manifesto in Defence of Democracy and the Rule of Law in the Age of “Artificial Intelligence,” the Transatlantic Reflection Group on Democracy and the Rule of Law in the Age of “Artificial Intelligence” has reconvened to draft a second consensus manifesto that shifts focus from the design of law in the age of AI to the enforcement of law.

Concretely, this manifesto offers 10 recommendations for addressing the key enforcement challenges shared across transatlantic stakeholders.We call on those who support these recommendations to sign this manifesto.

“What have you done, what will you do, how will you do it, and by when will you do it, to make sure that we, the judges of the world, the custodians of your legal systems, the guardians of your rights and liberties, but ordinary citizens as well, can know when to trust and when to mistrust AI to advance justice, access to justice, and through the institution of the law, our shared humanist ideals? As Chico Buarque says, “quem espera nunca alcança,”—those who wait never reach.”

Isabela Ferrari

Federal Judge, Second Regional Federal Court (Rio de Janeiro), Brazil

"Three points should anchor the discussion around AI and the rule of law: the values of free and open societies, dynamic and flexible legal and regulatory frameworks and cross-Atlantic consensus."

Carl Bildt

Former Prime Minister and former Foreign Minister of Sweden

"The discussions we have today about how to regulate AI, will reverberate for generations to come. We are settings the rules for a technology, which has the potential to transform our society even more profoundly than the internet."

Representative Yvette D. Clarke
