EU and Alphabet/Google to Develop AI Agreement
European Commission industry president Thierry Breton announced on Wednesday that he would work with Alphabet/Google to develop a voluntary agreement regarding Artificial Intelligence (AI). The agreement is intended to establish ground rules and provide input from companies in Europe and elsewhere. Breton is currently in Brussels discussing regulation with Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
EU’s History of Strict Technology Rules
The EU has a long-standing history of enforcing strict technology rules, and this alliance with Alphabet/Google will give the company a chance to provide input while avoiding potential issues in the future. The alliance is designed to create guidelines before formal legislation, such as the EU’s proposed AI Law, is passed.
Breton and Pichai Agree to Voluntary Agreement
In a statement, Breton and Pichai agreed that waiting for AI regulation to become enforceable is not an option. Therefore, they are working with AI developers to create a voluntary agreement before the legal deadline.
Vestager to Work with External Links
EU chief of technology Margrethe Vestager has also taken steps to tackle the issue. On Tuesday, the federation announced that it will work with external links related to AI, in order to create innovative solutions with regards to writing and grammar.
