Europe takes its fight against Big Tech to CEOs' turf: San Francisco

Europe's focus on business practices of American tech titans is evident in the agenda for Breton's trip. The morning after the stress test, he will host a launch event for the European Union's San Francisco office, a physical foothold for regulators in the tech industry's backyard. He'll also meet with a host of tech executives shaping the future of AI, including Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, chip maker Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang and OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman. During those meetings, he plans to discuss a new "AI Pact," a voluntary pledge to ensure the responsible development of AI until the AI Act takes effect. Google chief executive Sundar Pichai agreed to take the pledge recently, Breton said.
