The article discusses the European Union’s scrutiny of Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) model, Bard, over privacy concerns. The EU’s privacy watchdog, the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), has launched an investigation into Bard to assess its compliance with the bloc’s strict data protection rules. The EDPS aims to ensure that Bard does not “unduly infringe on people’s privacy rights or discriminate in an unlawful way.” The investigation will examine how Google trains Bard’s AI model, the data sources used, and the model’s potential impact on individuals’ rights. The EDPS emphasizes the need for AI systems to be transparent, secure, and accountable to prevent potential risks. Google has stated its commitment to developing AI responsibly and in compliance with regulations. The scrutiny highlights the EU’s proactive approach in addressing privacy concerns surrounding AI technologies.
