EU warns Microsoft to give Bing AI risk data or face fines

BRUSSELS: The EU on Friday told Microsoft to hand over internal documents or face fines as it examines generative AI risks on the company’s search engine Bing ahead of elections.

The EU has identified generative artificial intelligence as one of the main threats to elections being held across the 27-country bloc June 6-9.

Brussels in March pressed Bing, alongside several big digital platforms including Google Search, TikTok and YouTube, about action they have taken to mitigate AI risks.
