This quiet decision could unlock unexpected power shifts. Inside the fine print of Google’s EU commitment.
Google just agreed to something Meta refused — and it could reshape AI in Europe.
While Meta claims the EU is overstepping, Google is playing ball. But the game? It’s getting stricter.
From August 2nd, new rules will begin rolling out for “general-purpose AI models with systemic risk.” These aren’t just guidelines—they’re the early signs of a regulated future for companies like Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, and more.
By signing the EU’s AI Code of Practice, Google commits to:
Not training AI on pirated content
Honoring opt-out requests from creators
Sharing transparent documentation
And yet… even Google’s top brass admits the Act could slow innovation.
Europe’s regulatory pressure is on—and it’s changing how the biggest players operate.
Is regulation a moat or a minefield for the future of AI?
