News has hit the airwaves that Google and the European Commission have begun working on an artificial intelligence deal. According to her, the pact and probably the upcoming AI regulation will apply to both EU and non-EU countries.
As reported by the agency Reuters, the EC and Google have started work on creating a voluntary pact on artificial intelligence, even before stricter regulations are introduced for AI. European Commissioner for Internal Trade Thierry Breton is said to be urging member states and lawmakers to finalize the details of the EC's AI rules by the end of this year.

Breton recently met in Brussels with the head of the technology giant Alphabet (which also includes Google) Sundar Pichai. “Sundar and I agreed that we cannot afford to wait for AI regulations to come into effect and that it is desirable to work with all AI developers to create a voluntary agreement on AI before regulations are introduced,” stated Breton. Google also claimed greater responsibility for AI at a recent conference Google I/O 2023. The EU also cooperates with the USA in this area. Both regions are starting to establish a sort of "minimum standard" for AI before any legislation is introduced. When Google slows down its competition, it clearly gives it room to improve its solution.
