Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) has initiated a cross-border investigation into Google Ireland Limited to assess whether Google’s development of its AI model, Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM2), complies with European Union data protection laws. The inquiry is focused on how Google handles EU citizens’ personal data in training the model, which is crucial for ensuring adherence to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The DPC emphasized the importance of a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) in safeguarding the rights and freedoms of individuals, particularly when personal data processing poses high risks. The regulator’s efforts are part of a broader initiative to regulate the use of personal data in the development of AI models across the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA).

Google’s PaLM 2, launched earlier this year, is designed to be faster and more efficient than previous models, with different versions — Gecko, Otter, Bison, and Unicorn — catering to various use cases. The Gecko variant, in particular, is optimized for mobile devices, even functioning offline. Google plans to release further updates as PaLM 2 is integrated into its products.
