EU demands Google open Android AI; Google objects
Ars Technica·
The European Commission has instructed Google to make the Android operating system more open to third-party AI services, citing violations of the Digital Markets Act. The EU argues that Google's Gemini AI receives preferential treatment on Android, limiting competition and user choice. Google, however, has labeled the EU's demands as an "unwarranted intervention" that could compromise user privacy, security, and device maker autonomy. The commission seeks to allow alternative AI tools system-wide access, including invoking them via hot words and accessing screen context, potentially forcing significant changes to Android's AI integration this summer.
