Alphabet Class A, the parent company of Google, is facing significant challenges in Europe as the European Union moves forward with its AI legislation. Despite calls from major tech firms, including Google, to delay the AI Act, the EU remains steadfast in its implementation. The legislation, which aims to regulate high-risk AI applications, could potentially slow down AI development and investment in Europe, raising concerns among tech companies about its impact on their operations and competitiveness.
In addition to regulatory hurdles, Alphabet Class A is also dealing with an antitrust complaint in the EU regarding its AI Overviews service. Independent publishers have accused Google of abusing its market power by using AI-generated summaries that allegedly harm their business by reducing web traffic and revenue. Despite these challenges, analysts maintain a strong buy consensus on Alphabet Class A stock, with a price target suggesting potential upside, reflecting continued investor confidence in the company’s long-term prospects.
