EU Threatens Microsoft with Billions in Fines over AI Risk Disclosure

The European Commission demands Microsoft outline potential harms from Bing's generative AI features by May 27 or face severe penalties.

Microsoft must provide information on AI risks linked to Bing's features like Copilot and Image Creator.
The EU is concerned about AI's potential impact on civic discourse and electoral integrity.
Failure to comply could result in fines up to 1% of Microsoft's global annual turnover.
Periodic penalties of up to 5% of daily income may also be imposed for continued non-compliance.
The Digital Services Act mandates tech companies to mitigate systemic risks, including AI-driven disinformation.
