The Commission forces Microsoft to provide information under the Digital Services Act on the risks associated with generative AI in Bing

The Commission is stepping up its enforcement action against Microsoft: after failing to receive a response to its March 14 request for information on the specific risks associated with Bing's generative AI features, including 'Copilot in Bing' and 'Image Creator by Designer', the company now has until May 27 to provide the Commission with the requested information.

' The request for information is based on the suspicion that Bing may have breached the DSA due to the risks associated with generative AI, such as 'hallucinations', the viral spread of 'deepfakes', as well as the automated manipulation of services likely to mislead voters '.

' Generative AI is one of the risks identified by the Commission in its guidelines on the integrity of electoral processes, in particular for the upcoming elections to the European Parliament in June ' states US in its press release.

If Bing fails to respond on time, the Commission can impose fines of up to 1% of the provider's total annual revenue or worldwide turnover, and periodic penalties of up to 5% of the provider's average daily revenue or worldwide annual turnover.

The Commission may also impose fines of up to 1% of the provider's total annual revenue or worldwide turnover for incorrect, incomplete or misleading information in response to a request for information.
