""While the question of where Google takes the data for AI training and whether this process is lawful is extremely important for both the EU and US, the current American policy on AI is quite libertarian and pro-innovation amid the global race for AI supremacy. Therefore, any further regulatory probes against American companies in Europe, however justified they might be under the enacted law, will quite unlikely get any support from the US, to put it mildly.""
"Martin Neale, CEO of computer consultancy ICS.AI, said that the move by the Commission could help to provide European enterprises with more options. "From a European perspective we now do have credible alternatives, from open-weight players like France's Mistral through to specialist multi-model platforms," he said. There's no legal deadline for concluding an antitrust investigation, the Commission said."
The European Commission opened an antitrust investigation into how Google obtains and uses data for AI training. Observers link the probe to escalating digital tensions between the US and Europe, noting divergent US policy that is libertarian and pro-innovation. Concerns focus on the legality and transfer of data used for AI models. Industry voices argue the investigation could expand options for European enterprises by elevating regional and specialist AI providers, such as open-weight models and multi-model platforms. The Commission stated that there is no legal deadline for concluding the antitrust investigation.
