Google postpones Bard AI’s EU release due to privacy concerns

Europeans will have to wait to try Google Bard as the Irish Data Protection Commission has mandated the postponement of its launch in the EU. The Commission is evaluating Bard and intends to share its findings with other EU data regulators. Google is committed to expanding Bard responsibly, engaging with experts and government officials to address concerns. Other AI developers are also facing scrutiny in Europe, with countries like Germany, Italy, and Spain investigating tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Google’s delay in launching Bard aims to mitigate potential conflicts with EU data protection regulations.
