Tech giants working closely on AI compliance, says top EU’s data regulator

The world’s leading internet firms are engaging extensively with regulators in the European Union to ensure their artificial-intelligence products do not fall foul of the bloc’s strict data protection rules, Ireland’s powerful data regulator said.

Ireland’s Data Protection Commission, lead EU regulator for Alphabet’s Google, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok and OpenAI, among others, said that its broad powers had not yet been tested on AI and it could in future force changes to business models to ensure data privacy is protected.
