EU orders Google to open Android and Search to rival AI assistants

By PulseAugur Editorial · [7 sources] ·

The European Union has issued binding technical specifications to Google under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), requiring the company to open up key Android system features and anonymized search data to third-party AI assistants and search engines. This move aims to foster competition in the AI and search markets by ensuring rivals have comparable access to Android functionalities and search data as Google's own Gemini and search services. Google must comply with these mandates by July 2027 for Android changes and January 2027 for search data sharing, facing potential fines of up to 10% of its global turnover if it fails to do so. AI

IMPACT This ruling could significantly increase competition for AI assistants on Android devices and in search, potentially leading to more diverse AI offerings for users.

RANK_REASON Regulatory action by the EU against a major tech company regarding AI and platform access.

    EU requires Google to open up Android AI features and search data

    欧盟委员会7月16日依据《数字市场法》（DMA）向谷歌发布两项具有约束力的技术规范措施，要求其向第三方AI助手开放Android系统关键功能，并向第三方搜索引擎共享匿名化搜索数据，以促进人工智能和搜索市场竞争。根据要求，谷歌需允许第三方AI助手调用Android关键系统功能，支持语音唤醒、跨应用执行任务等能力，与Gemini获得同等待遇；同时，谷歌需向符合条件的搜索引擎及具备搜索功能的AI聊天机器人开放匿名化搜索数据，并建立透明的数据获取及定价机制。（界面）
