The Irish Data Protection Commission has opened an inquiry into whether Alphabet Inc.’s Google complied with European Union privacy laws in the development of its artificial intelligence model.
The DPC said in a statement on Thursday that the probe will look at whether Google carried out a data protection impact assessment, as required by the bloc’s sweeping General Data Protection Regulation, before it processed EU residents’ personal data used in its Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM 2) foundational model.
