Top EU Privacy Regulator Opens Probe Into Google’s AI Compliance
The top EU privacy regulator opened an inquiry on Thursday into whether search engine giant Google adequately protected European Union users’ personal data before using it to help develop its foundational AI Model.
“This statutory inquiry forms part of the wider efforts of the DPC, working in conjunction with its EU/EEA (European Economic Area) peer regulators, in regulating the processing of the personal data of EU/EEA data subjects in the development of AI models and systems,” the DPC said in a statement.
Social media platform X agreed last week not to train its AI systems using the personal data collected from European Union users before they had the option to withdraw their consent following court action taken by the Irish regulator.
