Event Summary

A distinguished scientist at Alphabet Inc., Sergei Vassilvitskii, has warned the International — European Commission that its proposal to require Alphabet Inc. to share search engine data with rivals like OpenAI poses significant privacy risks to users. Alphabet Inc.'s 'AI red team' demonstrated that users could be re-identified from supposedly anonymized data in under two hours. The International — European Commission's proposal, part of its Digital Markets Act to curb Big Tech power, aims to increase competition by mandating data sharing on fair terms. Alphabet Inc. views this as regulatory overreach that could jeopardize user privacy and security. Regulators are expected to finalize measures by July 27, with potential fines of up to 10% of Alphabet Inc.'s global annual revenue for non-compliance. The United States government has also expressed discontent with the International — European Commission's actions against Big Tech.
