Google’s parent company, Alphabet, which has already faced regulatory pressure, is seeking to shape public perception and policy on artificial intelligence ahead of a global wave of regulation of the technology. About this reported the Reuters.
In September, the company’s CEO Sundar Pichai announced the creation of a $120 million investment fund to create educational programs in artificial intelligence.
“Informing more people and organizations, including governments, about AI and the use of AI tools helps improve AI policy and opens up new opportunities — it’s a virtuous cycle,” — said Kent Walker, Alphabet’s president of global affairs.
As Google competes with top big tech rivals, including Microsoft-backed OpenAI and Meta in the AI arena, the company is mindful of the tight regulatory scrutiny it faces in its existing advertising and search businesses.
In the European Union, Google has offered to sell part of its advertising business to appease regulators, Reuters reported. In the United States, the Justice Department is trying to force Google to abandon its Chrome web browser, although that course could change under President Donald Trump’s administration.
Meanwhile, governments around the world are developing new rules on issues that could be exacerbated by AI, such as copyright and privacy.
