What made Google says YES to Europe on an AI law that Facebook, Instagram have outrightly rejected; and Europe’s biggest companies want EU to ‘Stop the Clock’
Google has said yes to European Union’s (EU) AI law that Facebook and Instagram parent Meta has almost gone to war over. Google has reportedly said that it will sign the EU’s code of practice for artificial intelligence (AI). Google agreeing to EU AI law is a boost to the bloc as it tries to hold firm on its digital rules in the face of heavy pressure from the Donald Trump government and other Big Tech groups.
Kent Walker, president of global affairs and chief legal officer at Google’s parent company Alphabet, said that the company would sign “with the hope that this Code, as applied, will promote European citizens’ and businesses’ access to secure, first-rate AI tools as they become available”.
