S&P 500 rises as health care, tech gain to overshadow Fed independence concerns
Investing.com -- Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) announced it will sign the European Union’s General Purpose AI Code of Practice while expressing reservations about certain aspects of the framework that might impede artificial intelligence development in Europe.
The tech giant joins other U.S. model providers in adopting the voluntary code, which aims to expand access to secure, high-quality AI systems across the region.
Google voiced support for the code’s overall goals but highlighted specific concerns about provisions related to copyright, trade secret exposure, and approval delays that could potentially harm AI development and competitiveness in the European market.
According to Google, Europe stands to gain approximately €1.4 trillion annually by 2034 through effective AI deployment. The company emphasized its commitment to working with the EU AI Office on implementation of the code to address these concerns.
The voluntary framework represents part of Europe’s broader efforts to establish guardrails for artificial intelligence technology while balancing innovation and safety considerations.
