Google’s Europe Boss Calls for Changes to ‘Problematic’ EU Rules

Google’s top executive in Europe said the continent should simplify complex and conflicting rules on artificial intelligence and technology as Silicon Valley’s biggest companies gripe about their impact on their ability to do business in the EU.

Debbie Weinstein, president of Europe, Middle East and Africa for Alphabet Inc.’s Google, said the European Union has issued about 100 internet laws since 2019. “They conflict with each other. They are not clear on what the outcome is,” she said at the Bloomberg’s Women, Money & Power conference on Wednesday. “There is a real need for simplification and harmonization.”
