In an interview with the Financial Times, Mr. Pichai suggested that governments and businesses could work together to translate existing rules into “smart regulation” that not only protects user privacy, but also enables continued innovation.

“It is such a broad, cross-cutting technology, so it’s important to look at [regulation] more in certain vertical situations,” he said. “There are areas where we need to do the research before we know what are the right kinds of approaches we need to take…Rather than rushing into it in a way that prevents innovation and research, you actually need to solve some of the difficult problems.”
