Will the EU's sweeping regulations make Big Tech platforms safer?

When Apple recently announced the launch of its iPhone 16 series, it touted the device's new AI features as a main selling point. This latest generation of iPhones boasts the ability to help people with a range of tasks, including transcribing phone calls, rephrasing text messages, and generating images.

But not everyone will have access to the iPhone's latest bells and whistles. Apple also announced that the features would not be launched in the European Union in the foreseeable future. Differences in tech regulations and privacy expectations mean that the same product—in this case, the iPhone—can have different capabilities based on a country's regulatory environment.

Apple, like other Big Tech companies, is facing increasing regulatory scrutiny in the EU. Drata examined news reports and economic analyses to see how regulations in the U.S. and the EU differ and how they're affecting consumers.
