Google's AI model is under scrutiny from European Union privacy regulators. The Irish Data Protection Commission has launched an EU statutory inquiry to investigate whether Google's AI model, Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM 2), complies with the EU's strict data privacy regulations. This investigation follows backlash over an AI advertisement by Google during the Olympics, which has prompted discussions on the integration of emerging technologies in advertising. The probe specifically targets Google Ireland and was opened on Thursday.
