Google chief urges 'proportionate' AI regulation
BRUSSELS — As the EU puts the digital revolution at the heart of policy-making it should take a "proportional approach" to regulating artificial intelligence, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google said on Monday.Pichai, also boss of Google's parent company Alphabet, argued before an audience at a Brussels think tank, Bruegel, that companies like his own — an internet behemoth valued at $1 trillion — need to be given a say as governments formulate AI regulatory policy."All of us have to do this together," he said. "I think going it alone won't work for anyone."His pitch comes at an important time. Europe is intent on forging a digital strategy able to compete with the US and China, both of which are locked in trade and technology tussles that have...
