  4. Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) has launched a cross-border investigation into Google Ireland Limited to determine if the company complied with EU data protection laws.

    Purpose of the Investigation

    The inquiry aims to find out whether Google has adhered to EU data protection laws, focusing on the usage of EU citizens' personal data. This data was used to train Google's Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM2), which was unveiled on May 10, 2023.

    PaLM2 Technology

    PaLM2 is noted for its advancements in language processing, reasoning, and coding. It is described as faster and more efficient than previous models, with four versions: Gecko, Otter, Bison, and Unicorn, each serving different purposes. Google plans to update PaLM2 as it integrates into its products, with over 25 Google products, including language tools in Google Docs and medical aids in Med-PaLM2, already utilizing PaLM2.

    Global AI Treaty

    Just days before Ireland's announcement, a major international AI treaty was signed. In September, the US, UK, and EU joined forces to sign the historic AI Convention Treaty. This treaty aims to ensure that AI technology aligns with human rights and democracy. Adopted in May 2024, the treaty marks a global agreement among 57 nations, emphasizing the harmonization of technology with human rights.

    This investigation is part of efforts by EU data protection regulators to safeguard citizens' personal data during AI development. It also underscores the international commitment to overseeing personal data use through global agreements.
