On Wednesday, EU industry director Thierry Breton said Alphabet (GOOGL.O) and the European Commission want to create an artificial intelligence (AI) partnership with European and non-European corporations before AI regulations.
Breton met Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai in Brussels.
“Sundar and I agreed that we cannot afford to wait until AI regulation actually becomes applicable, and to work together with all AI developers to already develop an AI pact on a voluntary basis ahead of the legal deadline,” Breton stated after the meeting.
He also asked EU governments and parliamentarians to finalize the Commission’s AI guidelines before the year’s end. However, both sides have yet to negotiate their differences.
On Tuesday, EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager said the EU and the US would cooperate on artificial intelligence to set basic criteria before the law takes effect.
