🚨 Big news, amigos! Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) just launched an investigation into Google's use of EU user data for AI development. 😱
So, what's the buzz? 📢 The DPC, which keeps an eye on data protection in the EU (especially since many U.S. tech giants have HQs in Ireland 🇮🇪), is digging deep to see if Google properly safeguarded personal info before using it to create their Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM 2) – you know, the brain behind some pretty smart AI tech. 🧠✨
This isn't just a solo mission! 🕵️♀️ The DPC is teaming up with other regulators across the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA) to make sure that any personal data used for AI is handled the right way. 🤝📄
But wait, there's more! 📺 Recently, social media platform X (yeah, the one formerly known as Twitter 🐦➡️❌) agreed not to use EU user data to train its AI systems unless users can opt out. This came after some serious chats with the Irish regulator. 💬🇮🇪
Why should you care? 🤔 Well, with all this tech magic happening, it's super important to know how our data is being used. Privacy matters, and the DPC is on it! 🔒❤️
Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story! 📢✨
