The UARACAR project intends to provide a comprehensive and unified regulatory framework
that covers the responsible use of AI and the regulation of crypto assets. This initiative aims to
develop standardised standards, policies, and regulatory processes through collaboration
among member nations, multilateral organisations, and business sector firms.
Project Goals
The UARACAR project aims to provide a uniform regulatory framework, policy guidelines, and
collaboration mechanisms. It does not entail the direct implementation or enforcement of
rules inside member nations, which is left to the relevant national authorities.
Constraints
Financial Restriction: The project's budget is subject to allocation and approval by member
nations and organisations.
Regulatory Variability: varied member nations may have varied current regulatory
frameworks, necessitating efforts for alignment and harmonisation.
AI systems and crypto assets comprise a wide range of technology and applications, making

BACKGROUND:
The combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrencies in today's financial world
brings enormous prospects, but also fundamental concerns. AI offers efficiency and
personalised services, but it also requires ethical monitoring to avoid prejudice. Although
cryptocurrency transactions are borderless, they require regulation to safeguard investors and
preserve market integrity. This convergence necessitates a coherent strategy that harmonises
AI and cryptocurrency laws, respects ethical values, and ensures global financial stability.
IMPORTANCE:
By offering a consistent and adaptive regulatory framework, the consistent Approach intends
to stimulate responsible innovation, safeguard investor interests, and ensure financial
stability. It tackles the issues raised by the confluence of AI and cryptocurrency while
encouraging ethical behaviour and global collaboration.
