The Competition Commission of India issued a $162.9 million fine and issued a cease and desist order to stop Google’s anti-competitive practices of favoring its own suite of Android apps over competitors’. The ruling comes at the same time lawmakers in Asia, Europe and the US are examining Google’s market dominance.

But Deloitte also finds that more organizations (21% vs 17% last year) have deployed many projects but had low outcomes. Cost reduction is the most common successful outcome but AI applications are roughly as frequent in customer experience and marketing as in operations, finance, and human resources.
Clearview AI, known for its persistent view that privacy laws don’t apply to them, has raised its impertinence to a new level ignoring France’s regulator, CNIL, altogether. CNIL, which deemed Clearview in violation of GDPR and ordered it to stop processing French citizen data, responded by imposing its maximum fine of €20 million. This follows €20 million fines each from Italy and Greece against Clearview, and a lesser amount from the UK. Problem is that regulators' limited legal resources make it difficult to enforce these. But that may change once plans for the EU bloc’s AI Act moves forward.
