This paper provides an overview of current efforts that are being made at the international level by governments and global organisations. Further, we discuss current and upcoming challenges and risks posed by intelligent systems. Ethical guidelines and legal frameworks are considered. In particular, the classification of risk levels and possible mitigation strategies proposed are examined and compared. The latest state of technical feasibility and possible certification to ensure safe, transparent and robust AI systems will be examined.

In future work, concrete certification approaches and possible technical implementations for safe AI systems that meet the proposed governance frameworks will be investigated.
