Brussels cannot yield on rules for tech giants and AI

RTP Notícias14 September 2026 at 12:50

The European Commission's Vice-President, Teresa Ribera, today defended that the European Union must maintain the rules it has established for large technology companies and for artificial intelligence. The official highlighted that the EU should not yield on these regulations, even if this provokes conflicts with other countries. Teresa Ribera emphasized the importance of preserving the European regulatory framework established for the technology sector and for AI, without compromising the standards defined by the European Commission. The Vice-President's position comes in a context in which European rules for tech giants and artificial intelligence have generated international friction.

Why this matters

European readers are directly affected by EU digital policies that protect their data and limit the power of big tech. This defense by Ribera indicates that European rules for AI and big tech will remain rigorous, potentially impacting available digital services and how international companies operate in the region.
