Google is ordered by the EU to open Android to AI competitors and share search data


The European Union has introduced new rules that require Google to make Android and its search platform more accessible to other AI companies.

These rules come under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which is designed to encourage fair competition and give users more choices.

With these changes, third-party AI assistants will be able to use important Android features more effectively.

This means they can handle tasks like voice commands, sending messages, searching for information, and working across apps in a way that is closer to Google's own AI services.

The EU has also asked Google to share certain anonymous search data with approved AI companies and search engines.

This will help them improve their search and AI tools while keeping users' personal information protected.

The first data-sharing rules are expected to begin in January 2027, followed by Android platform changes in July 2027.

Through these updates, the EU aims to create a fairer AI market, encourage innovation, and give users more freedom when using digital services.
