Google forced to delay Bard AI's EU launch over privacy concerns
Google to delay the rollout of its Bard chatbot in the region. The generative AI was supposed to launch in the EU this week, but IDPC Deputy Commissioner Graham Doyle says his agency hasn't received a"detailed" privacy briefing, a data impact assessment or supporting info.
The Commission is still in the midst of an"ongoing examination" of Bard, according to Doyle. It isn't estimating when it might wrap up that investigation, but it plans to share info with other EU data regulators as quickly as possible."responsibly" after discussing its efforts with experts and governments. This includes talking to privacy regulars to"address their questions and hear feedback," the representative says.
Google began widening access to Bard in March, when it let would-be users sign up for a waiting list. In May, it dropped the waitlist and expanded availability to 180 more countries and territories. The tech giant shied away from the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation sets strict requirements on how personal data is collected and shared.Great deals on consumer electronics delivered straight to your inbox, curated by Engadget’s editorial team.
