European Commission
The European Commission is the EU's executive body responsible for policy enforcement and regulation in the European Union. In recent months, it has taken significant regulatory actions in AI and technology, including launching a €10 billion AI gigafactory scheme to build data centers across Europe, issuing legally binding orders requiring Google to share search data and allow competing AI assistants on Android devices, establishing an Advisory Forum to support implementation of the EU AI Act, and publishing guidelines clarifying how the AI Act applies to general-purpose AI models with specific compute thresholds and compliance requirements.
