Google Delays Launch of AI Chatbot in EU due to Regulatory Privacy Concerns

Date:

Google has delayed the launch of its generative AI chatbot, Bard, in the European Union due to concerns raised by the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC), Google’s main data protection authority in the area. The DPC had not been informed about the date of launch, nor adequate information in advance of it, according to deputy commissioner Graham Doyle. The watchdog will not allow Bard to launch until it has received satisfactory answers from Google about data protection impact assessments and other issues. There has yet to be any indication from the DPC as to when a launch can be expected. The same LLM technology is already being used in Europe by the ChatGPT launched by OpenAI.
