EU tells Google to open up AI on Android; Google says that’s "unwarranted intervention"
Summary
The EU Commission has called for opening Android AI to third-party services under the Digital Markets Act, citing Gemini's built-in, preferential access as an interoperability barrier. Google argues the intervention is unwarranted, while regulators set a timetable for feedback and a final decision, with potential fines for non-compliance. The move could mandate new APIs and broader data access for non-Google AI tools, affecting Android’s AI ecosystem and enterprise developers relying on AI on mobile devices.
