EU directs Google to open Android AI and search data to competitors

The European Commission has issued new directives to Google under the Digital Markets Act, aiming to foster competition in AI services on Android and grant third-party search engines access to Google's search data. This move seeks to level the playing field by ensuring competitors' AI services have equal access to features on Android devices, similar to Google's own AI, Gemini. Apple is also facing similar scrutiny from the Commission regarding its new AI features, potentially leading to separate operating systems and devices for different global markets. AI

IMPACT This regulatory action could reshape AI competition on mobile platforms and influence how AI data is shared globally.
